精神病评估小组使用家庭互动观察和精神分析导向的个人访谈来研究1972年布法罗溪灾难的心理后果，这是一场由渣坝倒塌释放的污泥和黑水的浪潮。在80%的幸存者中发现了创伤性神经反应。潜在的临床症状是未解决的悲伤，幸存者的羞耻，无力的愤怒和绝望的感觉。这些临床表现在洪水发生后的两年里一直存在，一种被称为“布法罗河综合症”的明确症状复合物普遍存在。幸存者用来应对灾难的压倒性影响的方法——一级防御、毁灭、心理保守主义和非人化——实际上保留了他们的症状，并导致了残疾的性格变化。语言:在
Psychiatric evaluation teams used observations of family interaction and psychoanalytically oriented individual interviews to study the psychological aftereffects of the 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster, a tidal wave of sludge and black water released by the collapse of a slag waste dam. Traumatic neurotic reactions were found in 80% of the survivors. Underlying the clinical picture were unresolved grief, survivor shame, and feelings of impotent rage and hopelessness. These clinical findings had persisted for the two years since the flood, and a definite symptom complex labeled the "Buffalo Creek syndrome" was pervasive. The methods used by the survivors to cope with the overwhelming impact of the disaster--first-order defenses, undoing, psychological conservatism, and dehumanization--actually preserved their symptoms and caused disabling character changes.
