The focus of orders this dissertation is the employee group reactions and adjustments to a hostage situation and its aftermath. The setting for this ethnographic research was a group of 70 nurses and support personnel working in the women's center of a suburban American hospital, where a gunman killed a maternity nurse and held 8 people hostage for 18 hours until his surrender to police. The perpetrator was angry about his wife's sterilization surgery and decided to take revenge for this limitation on his fatherhood. The perspectives of medical and psychological anthropology are used as analytical frameworks to explore the group's experience of grief and posttraumatic stress and the methods of healing they chose to pursue in their journey from victims to survivors.
