Crisis Intervention Strategies

$210.95

A six-step model gives students and practitioners a systemic way of dealing with people in crisis: Defining the Problem, Ensuring Client Safety, Providing Support, Examining Alternatives, Making Plans, and Obtaining Commitment.

James examines a wide variety of crisis situations, such as partner violence, addiction, violent behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, school violence, and hostage situations.

A unique triage assessment technique provides students with tools for assessing the severity of the client crisis.

Case studies describe how to do specific intervention techniques and explain why those techniques are used.

Cases with transcripts of dialogue are sprinkled throughout the book, help illustrate the techniques described and let students "see" the conversations crisis workers might have in dealing with a client in crisis.
