1985年9月19日，墨西哥城发生地震，数千人丧生，更多的人失去家人和朋友，或无家可归。这一切发生的太快了，以至于很多人都还没有弄清楚到底发生了什么就死去了。集体大戏无疑是我国历史上最惨痛的经历之一。这场灾难的一个方面是它对受害者和其他人的心理健康的影响，灾害一词用来指这场造成巨大生命和物质损失的事件是恰当的。这确实是一场巨大的灾难，使遭受灾难的人类群体的功能和结构发生了变化，并唤起了正常生活中不使用的心理和集体生存机制。
Several thousand persons lost their lives, and many more suffered the deaths of family members and friends or were left homeless, when earthquakes struck Mexico City on 19 September 1985. Everything happened so quickly that many surely died without being clearly aware of what was happening. The collective drama is undoubtedly one of the most painful experiences in the history of our country. One aspect of this disaster was its effects on the mental health of the victims and the rest of the population.The term disaster is appropriate in referring to this event, which caused a loss of lives and material goods on an enormous scale. It was truly a great disaster, producing changes in the functioning and the structure of the human group that was subjected to it and evoking psychological and collective survival mechanisms that are not used in normal life.
