Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies in Crisis Intervention

The most comprehensive guide to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with clients in crisis is now in a significantly revised fourth edition with 75% new material. Over 15 years of clinical and research advances are reflected in fully updated chapters on evidence-based brief strategies for helping people cope in highly stressful situations. From leading experts, the book addresses suicide prevention, crises related to mental and physical health problems, child and family crises, and exposure to disasters and mass or community violence. Vivid case material illustrates what the interventions look like in action and how to tailor them to individual clients' needs.
