Since 1996, the Canton of Geneva in Switzerland has developed a model of psychological support in the event of micro or macro-social disasters, known as psychosocial and spiritual (rather than medico-psychological). This model, well established among the professional networks in Geneva, advocates swift action, though at the lowest possible key, aimed at mobilizing the residual resources of individuals, families, groups or communities. Its purpose is declaredly human and spiritual, in that it attempts to accompany and comfort those who are distressed. However, it requires specific skills in emotional management on behalf of the professionals involved, specifically in terms of over-investment. The basic approach is “to do as little as possible, but all that is required”.
