The second and third stages begin what can be the lengthy task of processing the emotional and psychological effects of captivity.

An old boss of mine who was a POW in the Bataan Death March told me that the reason the reason many of them were able to reintegrate into society was because of their strong Christian faith.

Every evening they got together and prayed and reaffirmed their faith in God.
Nonbelievers were usually the first to breakdown. Bergdahl, if held under extreme circumstances probably would not have survived given his mental state going in.
