Crisis intervention
1. Crisis intervention involves brief, active therapy aimed at returning an individual experiencing distress to their precrisis level of functioning. 2. A crisis can be developmental, situational, or adventitious and result in feelings of disequilibrium that challenge usual coping mechanisms. 3. The goals of crisis intervention are to reduce anxiety and distress, assist with problem solving, and promote growth and resolution so self-esteem is preserved.
