Crisis Intervention Handbook Assessment, Treatment, and Research Fourth Edition

Description

Fewer concepts in American society have received more attention recently than the need
for skilled crisis intervention. Images of crises inundate internet and newspaper headlines,
television screens and mobile devices. As a result of the growing amount of acute crisis
events portrayed in the media that impact the lives of the general public, interest in crisis
intervention, response teams, management, and stabilization has grown tremendously.
Skills and methods to effectively manage acute crisis situations are in high demand. While
many claim to understand the rapidly growing demand for effective crisis management, few
provide clearly outlined step-by-step processes to educate and guide health and mental health
professionals. This is a thorough revision of the first complete and authoritative handbook
that prepares the crisis counselor for rapid assessment and timely crisis intervention in the
21st century
