Summary
"This new edition of Strategic Interventions for People in Crisis, Trauma, and Disaster addresses the many important changes that have occurred in the public and private sectors. With the turbulence of our present culture, more and more clinicians are called upon to intervene in crisis situations. Violent interactions, once considered rare or beyond the province of the therapist, have become familiar events to many practitioners. This volume provides both the theoretical background and practical techniques to help people learn from crisis experiences and move toward change and growth."--BOOK JACKET.
