Crisis Intervention Strategies

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.

Very informative and the writing is easy to understand and large enough to not have to squint to see the writing. Its a keeper

I liked the way this textbook was written. It was detailed, informative and used casual speech. It's not one of those textbooks where the authors put simple concepts into complex words to stroke their egos.

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.

Awesome hard cover textbook. Very durable. A great value for college students. Lots of relevant chapters that are consistent with current themes in the real world of first responders & essential crisis workers & disaster workers.

This textbook has real conversation examples for new people to the field of study.

A book every practicing BH / MH clinician should have.
