This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will further stimulate interest and discussion of the telephone and the Internet as a mode of treatment. In this extensively revised third edition, a practical framework for providing immediate problem-solving assistance by telephone to persons in crisis is provided. Several new chapters have been added and several chapters have been updated and rewritten. The text offers specific techniques to deal with out-of-control situations with the highly important initial steps to protect the caller, the crisis worker, and the community. The scope of the book includes an overview of counseling by telephone, how to effectively manage crises, how to be supportive verbally and nonverbally, how to accurately assess situations, and how to help create a sense of stability. Part I discusses the varieties of telephone services, while Part II covers crisis intervention and counseling, including telephone therapy, active listening, cognitive therapy approaches, transactional analysis and learned helplessness approaches, as well as Gestalt therapy approaches. Part III discusses a variety of problem callers: the obscene caller, the chronic caller, the silent caller, the nuisance caller, and the “one counselor” caller. A new section, Part IV—Special Topics, includes valuable information on dealing with adolescents, war veterans, rural communities, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities on campus. Part V offers a look at contact beyond the telephone, including crisis intervention by e-mail and letter. Part VI views the roles of telephone counselors, such as the mental health professional, the nonprofessional crisis worker, selecting telephone counselors, and training crisis workers. Finally, Part VII summarizes and evaluates today’s telephone counseling services. This unique and up-to-date book serves as a comprehensive tool for those setting up telephone and Internet counseling services and those in charge of centers already operating, especially in training and supervising those on the front lines, the crisis interveners.

Download or read book Crisis Intervention Handbook written by Kenneth Yeager and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Expanded and fully updated, the Crisis Intervention Handbook: Assessment, Treatment, and Research, Fourth 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.

Download or read book The SAFER R Model written by George Everly, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2017-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological Crisis Intervention: The SAFER-R Model is designed to provide the reader with a simple set of guidelines for the provision of psychological first aid (PFA). The model of psychological first aid (PFA) for individuals presented in this volume is the SAFER-R model developed by the authors. Arguably it is the most widely used tactical model of crisis intervention in the world with roughly 1 million individuals trained in its operational and derivative guidelines. This model of PFA is not a therapy model nor a substitute for therapy. Rather it is designed to help crisis interventionists stabile and mitigate acute crisis reactions in individuals, as opposed to groups. Guidelines for triage and referrals are also provided. Before plunging into the step-by-step guidelines, a brief history and terminological framework is provided. Lastly, recommendations for addressing specific psychological challenges (suicidal ideation, resistance to seeking professional psychological support, and depression) are provided.

This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 4179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abnormal and clinical psychology courses are offered in psychology programs at universities worldwide, but the most recent major encyclopedia on the topic was published many years ago.

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology, a 7-volume, A-Z work (print and electronic formats), is such an authoritative work. Its more than 1,400 entries provide information on fundamental approaches and theories, various mental health disorders, assessment tools and psychotherapeutic interventions, and the social, legal, and cultural frameworks that have contributed to debates in abnormal and clinical psychology. Key features include: 1,400 signed articles contained in 7 volumes and available in choice of print and/or electronic formats Although organized A-to-Z, front matter includes a Reader’s Guide grouping related entries thematically Back matter includes a Chronology, Resource Guide, Bibliography, and detailed Index Entries conclude with References/Further Readings and Cross-References to related entries The Index, Reader’s Guide themes, and Cross-References between and among entries all combine to provide robust search-and-browse features in the electronic version.

Book excerpt: Psychotherapy and counseling take place within the basic context of human relationships.

This book includes a wealth of therapeutic vignettes, case studies, clinical information, treatment strategies, modalities, and diagnostic issues that will enhance the skill sets for counselors and therapists, resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes. Addiction-focused counselors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, family and marriage therapists, family physicians, nurses, and NAADAC professionals will find the evidence-based information and clinical strategies in this book to be extremely useful in their clinical work.

Download or read book BEHAVIORAL GUIDE TO PERSONALITY DISORDERS DSM 5 written by Douglas H. Ruben and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral Guide to Personality Disorders is the first behaviorally-based reference guide on Personality Disorders and their applicability in vocational, therapeutic, and other rehabilitation service agencies. Chapters cover each personality disorder from a learning theory perspective; the “Do’s and Don’ts” on how to manage personality types in service delivery systems (called “personality management”); and predictors of each personality disorder for vocational, therapeutic, and rehabilitation outcomes. The objective of the book is simply to provide practical and ready-to-use clinical information for practitioners and advanced students facing the high demand for triage and treatment decisions. It helps the paraprofessional and professional measurably identify individual behavior problems in clients and consumers, and predict their trajectory of outcome success or failure under certain circumstances or when provided a litany of rehabilitation services. The text also culls from evidence-based research and application to ensure the viability and acceptability of the analysis. For simplicity of reading and rapid reading comprehension, the design of this book is called a PowerPoint book. It allows for self-paced learning with PowerPoint (graphic-visual) reminders embedded in the text with study questions listed afterwards. Like some predecessors, this guide offers a return to the behavioral framework to understand the intricacies of psychopathology. It explains the behavioral underpinnings of each personality disorder, both to debunk mythical reasons or reifications distorting the etiologies, and to advance a more respectful scientific outlook on personality disorders. With this resource, professionals in the allied health fields can more confidently predict the outcome success or failure of individuals with personality disorders, who receive mental health treatment, vocational rehabilitation, or other allied health services.

Download or read book Crisis Intervention and Time Limited Cognitive Treatment written by Albert R. Roberts and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1995-09-07 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these turbulent times, thorough grounding in crisis intervention and cognitive approaches are important components of every practitioner′s repertoire. The chapters in this volume provide highly informative, up-to-date, and practical resources for the application of these interrelated approaches to many major crisis situations in which we must prepare ourselves and our students to intervene. This is an excellent resource for my graduate students and community training interns. --John Kalafat, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Spalding University and Co-Chair, School Committee, American Association of Suicidology "In a world of increasing global awareness of violence and disaster coupled with decreasing budgets and an emphasis on briefer interventions, practitioners need to expand and modify intervention strategies. The contributors to this volume present a wide range of techniques within Albert R. Roberts′s crisis intervention model. For those in the trauma field, this book is a wealth of information and referral sources." --Mary Beth Williams, Ph.D., LCSW, Trauma Recover Education & Counseling Center, Warrenton, Virginia "Albert R. Roberts has provided a much-needed text that belongs on every criminal justice professional′s bookshelf. Crisis Intervention and Time-Limited Cognitive Treatment covers the emerging trends within the field in an outstanding manner." --Harvey Wallace, J.D., Director, Victims Institute and Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, California State University, Fresno "Albert R. Roberts′s edited book is the most comprehensive book I have seen on the application of cognitive therapy to the practice of crisis intervention and time-limited treatment. Crisis Intervention and Time-Limited Cognitive Treatment will be necessary reading by all mental health and social service administrators and practitioners who are often struggling to respond to the changing realities brought about by managed care. This is the first book to provide a national perspective on 24-hour crisis hotlines, cognitive therapy, and crisis intervention units of community mental health centers. it includes detailed information on crisis intervention and 24-hour crisis hotlines in every state in the nation. This exceptionally well-written book also includes valuable guidelines, practice wisdom, and cognitive therapy techniques for intervening with domestic stalking victims, battered women, rape victims, persons with sexual disorders, persons with AIDS, disaster victims, and families of homicide victims. This groundbreaking, provocative volume does an excellent job of integrating theory and foundation skills with the latest brief cognitive therapy technology in dealing with a wide range of client problems that practitioners deal with on a regular basis. I predict that this timely book will become a classic for all of us who strive to resolve acute psychological as well as situational crises." --Gilbert J. Greene, Associate Professor of Social Work, The Ohio State University "Albert R. Roberts′s new volume significantly extends his earlier groundbreaking work in the field of crisis intervention by showing how cognitive approaches can help clients cope with a wide variety of crises. Using detailed case histories, Roberts and his contributors have shown how short-term treatment can play a major role in helping people regain their equilibrium when faced with high-risk situations." --Bernard Bloom, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Colorado at Boulder "With the publication of this book, Dr. Roberts has met a critical need. At a time when a wide range of criminal justice and other professionals are called upon to respond to individuals and communities in crisis situations, Dr. Roberts has developed an outstanding resource and most inclusive book on crisis intervention. The thorough presentation of both established and cutting-edge strategies, crisis treatment, trauma therapy, and survivors′ services will make this book the essential tool for criminologists, criminal justice professors, victimologists, forensic psychologists, as well as service providers. This volume is packed with vivid case examples and practical step-by-step applications, and up-to-date information about how to help persons in crisis, including suicide attempters, disaster victims, hostages, stalking victims, rape victims, and parents of murdered children. The book also includes a 90-page directory of suicide prevention agencies, rape crisis programs, battered women′s shelters, addiction treatment programs, and victim assistance programs." --Jane Nady Burnley, Ph.D., Executive Director, VALOR: Victims′ Assistance Legal Organization, Inc. and former Director,

Download or read book Self Motivation for Professional Practitioners written by Dennis H. Reid and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2022-04-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For professional practitioners in the human services to successfully fulfill their important job roles they must be highly motivated. In many human service agencies, however, practitioners encounter situations that can seriously impede their motivation to work diligently as well as reduce their enjoyment on the job. For example, working with limited resources, unrealistic caseloads, problematic supervision, or interfering events beyond an agency’s control (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic) can all reduce practitioner motivation and work enjoyment. This book describes how human service practitioners can achieve and maintain self-motivation to be professionally productive and experience enjoyment on the job during both the best and worst of times. Self-motivation is presented in terms of practitioners actively using strategies developed through research and application in behavior analysis and therapy to promote their work productivity and enjoyment. Self-motivation strategies presented are likewise based on the specific advice of highly successful practitioners in the human services. Some strategies presented are robust in nature, in that they can be applied across varying situations to promote self-motivation and enhance overall quality of work life. Other strategies are more situation-specific, being tailored to overcoming particular obstacles to motivation that practitioners often face in human service agencies. The intent of this book is to provide practical information that effectively equips practitioners to be in control of their work motivation and thereby work consistently in a manner that is professionally productive and personally enjoyable.
