A change of direction A Chilean miner is helped by rescue workers after being pulled out of the gold and copper mine in which he and 32 other miners had been trapped for more than two months in 2010. On the advice of international psychologists, Chilean officials decided to make counseling available, but not required, for the rescued miners. This advice was a departure from the widely used procedure of psychological debriefing, which has failed to receive consistent research support in recent years.
