Crisis Intervention Strategies 008 Edition, Kindle Edition

by Richard K. James (Author), Burl E. Gilliland (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 716 ratings
This authoritative, best-selling text presents the latest skills and techniques for handling crisis situations. The authors' task model clearly illustrates and elucidates the process of dealing with people in crisis, from defining the problem to obtaining commitment. Using this model, the authors build specific strategies for handling a myriad of different crisis situations, accompanied in many cases with the dialogue that a practitioner might use when working with the individual in crisis. This book puts you on the front lines with the crisis worker throughout the chapters, and then illuminates the techniques and strategies the worker used. New videos in MindTap (available with the text) correlate with the text and demonstrate crisis intervention techniques, ensuring that you not only understand the theoretical underpinnings of crisis intervention theories, but also know how to apply them in crisis situations.

Intentional printing?
Were parts of this print supposed to be in color? This has happened before where I purchased a cheaper new print of a textbook only to wonder if I got a defunct copy that the publisher discarded. I had to strain so hard to read the learning objectives for the first chapter (white on light grey) and I have no visual impairments. As far as I can tell this is the only noticeable issue.

    I'm in a Masters Program at Liberty University for Pastoral Counseling and taking a course in Crisis Counseling. While the textbooks for the course are excellent, while listening to a lecture and capturing the text in closed captioning, I noted the citation referencing this text. I went to Amazon Kindle books to consider buying it and was put off by the expensive price at first, but after reading some excerpts that related to an assignment I had, I bought the book immediately. As I continued to read the book I was struck by the material and how it's not necessarily filled with "Academia-Speak" but rather it's written in plain-language that a student can understand and yet is sophisticated enough to use for citing in papers. Great read... long book, many pages, but a great read for the counselor. Much of the narrative is not only usable in crisis and trauma, but also with counselees who are seeking some cognitive change in their lives.

    I bought this as a required text for a Crisis and trauma class. It was useful for learning the theory behind crisis counseling, however it's so wordy I don't feel it's practical to use day to day, and I probably won't hang on to it.
