Now expanded and fully updated, Crisis Intervention Handbook: Assessment, Treatment, and Research, Second Edition, focuses on crisis intervention services for persons who are victims of natural disasters, school-based and home-based violence, violent crimes, and personal or family crises. It applies a unifying model of crisis intervention, making it appropriate for front-line crisis workers--clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatric-mental health nurses--and graduate students who need to know the latest steps and methods for intervening effectively with persons in acute crisis.
This book documents the results of the editor's national survey of 24-hour crisis hotlines and crisis intervention programs throughout the United States. Approximately, 35 million individuals in acute crisis telephone or walk into a crisis intervention program each year. This is the first comprehensive handbook that prepares the crisis counselor, social worker, and trained volunteer for rapid assessment and timely crisis intervention in the 21st century. In this completely revised and updated classic, Dr. Roberts and 37 clinical experts have set the standard of care and short-term treatment for persons in trauma and acute crisis. This book includes 21 comprehensive chapters, a detailed table of contents, and a thorough glossary of 150 terms.
