Here's where I first saw the story about "Tetris Inoculation Against PTSD Flashbacks," at Psych Central:

http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2009/01/08/tetris-inoculation-against-ptsd-flashbacks

And here's another short article at StarTribune.com, "Video Game Helps Shield Viewers from Disturbing Memories":

And here's the original article, "Can Playing the Computer Game 'Tetris' Reduce the Build-Up of Flashbacks for Trauma? A Proposal from Cognitive Science":
