Editorial Reviews

Review
"The text is outstanding in the sequencing of material. It lays a wonderful foundation for understanding crisis, the importance of understanding cultural diversity, and the topics are relevant and current."

"I think Kanel’s textbook is the most suitable material for an undergraduate crisis intervention course that I have found. The book’s depth and scope make it appropriate for training of paraprofessionals outside of the college setting as well."

"The ABC model of crisis interventions provides a useful guideline for teaching about crisis intervention and specific steps to implement for students. My students found it helpful and felt they would use it professionally." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
This practical nuts-and-bolts guide provides students with the skills necessary to handle any crisis situation. The text utilizes the comprehensive and effective ABC Model of Crisis Intervention that can be used as effectively for day-to-day interactions as for emergency situations. Addressing such crises as drug abuse, secondary PTSD, crisis worker burnout, AIDS, suicide, death and dying, Alzheimers and victimization and abuse, A GUIDE TO CRISIS INTERVENTION is useful for both students and practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, comprehensive book on Crisis Intervention!, March 23, 2008
By Alice M. Cleary (Canton, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been in the field for twenty years. Asked to teach a course to students at a nearby university, I ordered this book!
I find that it is very readable and interesting and very much like the work I have been doing for the last two decades! Students will learn first hand information of what makes up crisis work, and become familiar with the many facets of crisis work. Down to earth writing and very real case scenarios! Excellent resource!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and understandable, February 7, 2009
By B. Young (Clinton, UT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a great book for any student in the counseling field or for people who work with people who are in crisis. Kanel's book is very readable and provides an excellent framework for helping during a crisis. She provides excellent case examples (what to say and what not to say) and her ABC model for crisis intervention is a great model to assess and address crisis states in people.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide To Crisis Interventionb, April 19, 2009
This is an excellent book . I would highly reccommend this book to anyone wanting to understand counseling others. This is a college textbook, however it is very easy to ubderstand. It is reaslly interesting reading even if you are not a college student. The services from amazon.com are great. I was able to purchase this book new from them at a lower price than it was offered at college. Also the college was out of the book but amazon.com had it and i was able to get it in a couple of days.The book title is Crisis Intervention
