Download or read book CRISIS INTERVENTION AND COUNSELING BY TELEPHONE AND THE INTERNET written by David Lester and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. 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 Hotline for Youth written by Betty Jo Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968, a telephone service called Hotline began operation in Los Angeles, California. The concept was planned and implemented by a committee made up of various representatives in the community in association with the Division of Adolescent Medicine, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Today, the Children's Hospital Hotline is one of over 300 existing throughout the country, with a steadily increasing number being created in other parts of the world. Designed mainly for young people as a crisis intervention resource, the Hotline provides an understanding, empathetic, yet objective "Listener," someone who is as immediately available to a troubled youth as the nearest telephone. This publication is simply a collection of ideas, a rough approximation of where one Hotline (that of the Division of Adolescent Medicine, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles) is now. Just as there are often no simple or final answers for those who call the service, there will never be a finality regarding what Hotline is or could be.
Download or read book Talking with the Caller written by Cornell University Development Team and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical introduction to the art of interacting with crisis helpline callers will be essential to those who work, or intend to work, on a crisis line. The book is geared towards volunteers and others who initiate the crisis intervention process, when they need to accurately gauge the nature of the call and effectively engage the caller in problem-solving. The manual, in a loose-leaf binder, helps provide consistency in training on communication and listening skills. The text is designed to help telephone counselors provide an appropriate level of response and direction - but it is not written to help counselors detect underlying causes or otherwise engage in therapeutic encounters. The authors anticipate the possibility that the i
Download or read book Telephone Crisis Intervention written by Paul J. Seymour and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The telephone crisis intervention service at Utah State University (Help-Line) was evaluated in order to make the training program accountable and to produce recommendations for improvement in volunteer training. Help-Line training teaches a non-directive counseling model and incorporates experiential sensitivity type exercises, didactic discussion, and role playing. Help-Line volunteers were assessed by two methods. The first was a pretest-posttest control group design. Training was the independent variable and the discrimination of core conditions (as measured by the Crisis Center Discrimination Index) and the communication of empathy (as measured by the Crisis Center Communication Index) were the dependent variables . The Indexes are patterned after the work of Robert Carkhuff and utilize his 5-point rating system. The trainees scored significantly better than the control group on both the discrimination task (.01 level) and the connnunication task (.05 level). The second method was a comparison of the volunteers on the variables of Conceptual Level as postulated by Harvey, Hunt, and Schroder, and the decision of the volunteers regarding whether or not to work on Help-Line after training. Conceptual Level was measured by the Conceptual Systems Test (form 71) categorizing subjects according to cognitive structure and beliefs into one of four Conceptual Levels (CL): CL 1--concrete-proestablishment, CL 2--concrete-antiestablishrnent, CL 3--abstract-dependent, and CL 4--abstract-independent. Both trainers were CL 4 individuals and the interaction between subject and trainer is unknown. A comparison of CL 1, CL 3, and CL 4 subjects (the test identified no CL 2 members) on the Crisis Center Discrimination Index produced no significant differences. A comparison of CL 1, CL 3, and CL 4 subjects on the Crisis Center Colillllunication Index showed no significant differences on the pretest scores but a significant difference (.05 level) on the post test scores, CL 4 subjects scoring significantly higher than CL 3 and...

Download or read book Frequent Callers to Lifeline written by Jane Pirkis and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report on the Lifeline service which provides access to crisis support, suicide prevention and mental health services. Key amongst these is its 13 11 14 telephone line, which offers 24-hour crisis support delivered by Telephone Crisis Supporters (TCSs). Assistance from services like Lifeline is intended as a one-off or time-limited intervention, but some people make numerous calls to these services, sometimes over a relatively short space of time and sometimes for prolonged periods. These 'frequent callers' present a challenge for Lifeline and other telephone helplines which aim to achieve the best outcomes for all callers but have to do so with finite resources. Responding to frequent calls from one caller may mean that several other callers cannot connect with the service, and may encourage a dependency on the service in frequent callers that is not in their best interests.
