The military is thinking of giving propranalol to soldiers immediately post-trauma. It blocks physiological and emotional effects. I don't think PTSD is preventable by therapy simply because the bad guys aren't going to stop torturing you and let you get therapy, then start in on you again. In some instances I guess it could work, like when on-site mental health professionals counseled people at Ground Zero.
