I found this perfectly adequate for a modern-day Laundry campaign, with downtime psychotherapy. If you're going for 1920s period psychology, which wasn't too good, it gets a bit more complicated.
I'd expect to find that fight check penalties big enough to have the kind of lasting effects you'd want in that genre will cause characters to fail fright checks so often that it becomes unfun. A GM ,ight want to change the 3d + margin of failure roll on the fight check table to 3d + margin +5, or something like that.
