"This is the most practical time-limited treatment book I have read in the past 10 years. It is timely, focused, straightforward, comprehensive, empowering, highly readable, and extremely valuable." --Ann Wolbert Burgess, RN, CS, D.N.Sc., FAAN, DACFE Professor of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, Connell School of Nursing, Boston College

This book provides the most up-to-date approaches to deal with the crises and traumas of the 21st century, such as bioterrorism, terrorist attacks, and the use of weapons of mass destruction. A must-read for practitioners and students alike." --Phyllis Solomon, Ph.D., Professor, School of Social Work, Professor in Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
"Professor Albert R. Roberts's third edition of his now classic Intervention Handbook is an astute, comprehensive, and up-to-date volume for practitioners, responders, and scholars working in contemporary crisis intervention. Adding up to much more than the sum of its parts, [this handbook] is a must-have for the mental health-critical care specialist's personal library, college and university libraries, and public library reference section." --Richard L. Levenson, Jr., Psy.D., CTS, Licensed Psychologist, Managing Editor, International Journal of Emergency Mental Health

It is a classic and timely volume on all aspects of crisis and crisis intervention. Dr. Roberts and his esteemedauthor team of 50 professors and clinicians have provided an exceptionally well-written, evidence-based, highly readable, insightful, practical, and pathfinding book." --C.

"With its emphasis on contemporary issues, Crisis Intervention Handbook, Third Edition, is the leading edge of knowledge in the field. Fifteen new chapters focus on the most important issues for the mental health and disaster relief professionals who respond to traumatized individuals and families in a post-9/11 world. The current need for culturally sensitive crisis intervention is critical, and Roberts's book is a powerful tool to meet the needs of first responders of all sorts." --Jeanne A.

"Robert's third edition of the Crisis Intervention Handbook is an outstanding resource for clinicians and students in the helping professions. As in past editions, Roberts's crisis intervention model provides the foundation for the book. In each of the 32 chapters, clinical examples and up-to-date research findings are beautifully integrated in order to provide readers with specific assessment and practice guidance. The addition of two chapters dedicated to the evaluation of crisis intervention completes the book, making it an invaluable asset for current practitioners and students alike." --M. Elizabeth Vonk, M.S.W., Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Social Work, University of Georgia

Product Description
As a result of the growing amount of acute crisis events portrayed in the media that impact the lives of the general public, interest in crisis intervention, response teams, management, and stabilization has grown tremendously in the past decade. However, there exists little to no literature designed to give timely and comprehensive help for crisis intervention teams. This is a thorough revision of the first complete and authoritative handbook that prepares the crisis counsellor for rapid assessment and timely crisis intervention in the 21st century. Expanded and fully updated, the Crisis Intervention Handbook: Assessment, Treatment, and Research, Third Edition focuses on crisis intervention services for persons who are victims of natural disasters, school-based and home-based violence, violent crimes, and personal or family crises. It applies a unifying model of crisis intervention, making it appropriate for frontline crisis workers - clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatric - mental health nurses, and graduate students who need to know the latest steps and methods for intervening effectively with persons in acute crisis.
