What range of crises have your clients faced in their lives? How did they manage them? Which appear to be positive or negative coping strategies?

What will be an ideal response?


A crisis is a major upset in one’s biological, psychological, social, or spiritual equilibrium due to some hazardous event that is experienced as a threat, challenge, or loss, and with which the person cannot cope. All people experience environmentally induced or internal crises in their lives. These are especially common during life transitions. Students are encouraged to describe their experiences with clients’ (or other peoples, or their own crisis experiences), and to recount what they observed during those crises about positive and negative coping strategies.
