Cognitive-behavioral strategies in crisis intervention (3rd ed)

This invaluable practitioner guide and text shows how cognitive-behavioral interventions can help people weather situations of extreme stress and build needed skills for the future.

Leading authorities describe effective, time-efficient approaches to managing different types of crises: those related to particular psychological problems, such as panic disorder, suicidal depression, and personality disorders; medical crises; child and family crises; and environmental and situational crises, including large-scale traumatic events.

Vivid case material illustrates what the interventions look like in action and how to tailor them to individual clients' needs.
