We present a nonperturbative theory of the behavior of He in a strong pulsed laser. We address the question of the validity of frozen-core or single-active-electron approximations by providing direct quantitative comparisons with calculations including the complete two-electron behavior with correlation. Our results are illustrated with examples of nonlinear susceptibilities and ionization.
