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 inthe past decade. However, there exists little to no literature designed to give timely and comprehensive help for crisis intervention teams. 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. Expanded and fully updated, the Crisis Intervention Handbook: Assessment, Treatment, and Research, Third 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 frontline crisis workers - clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatric - mental helath nurses, and graduate students who need to know the latest steps and methods for intervening effectively with persons in acute crisis.
Reviews
Prof. Albert R. Roberts'3rd Edition of his now classic work, Crisis Intervention Handbook, is an astute, comprehensive, and up-to-date volume for practitioners, responders, and scholars working in contemporary crisis intervention. In what is a powerful and significant work, Dr. Roberts includes vital information on diagnosis and treatment of trauma, disaster mental health, Critical Incident Stress Management, support for responders, bioterrorism, working with children, adolescents, and college students, victims of violence, bereavement, health care personnel, and empirical foundations on which to conduct research. Adding up to much more than the sum of its parts, the Crisis Intervention Handbook (3rd Edition) is a must-have for the mental health-critical care specialist's personal library, as well as college and university libraries, and public library reference sections.
