Survey Results

September 11th Survey

Using PracticeNet(TM), a unique internet-based data collection infrastructure, the APA Practice Directorate conducted a survey of practicing psychologists regarding the effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11.

The survey was conducted October 8 - 11, one month after the attacks.

When viewing these data, it is important to remember that this is a volunteer sample, so participating psychologists were not randomly selected. While we believe that the experiences of participating practitioners are extremely important and informative, these findings cannot be generalized to all APA members or to all psychologists.
