Describe crisis intervention and what it allows the clinician to see.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Crisis intervention is a skilled intervention practice. Its goal is to return the client to pre-trauma functioning. Together, the client and practitioner explore the most salient issues of concern. It allows a clinician to see which factors of the crisis need to be punctuated to adequately address the crisis—which parts of the client’s story are drawn into the foreground or dropped into the background.
