CRISIS INTERVENTION - PROFESSIONAL FIRST AID IN ACUTE CRISIS

Thomas Kapitany ; Kriseninterventionszentrum Wien, Wien, Austria

Abstract

Crisis Intervention is a professional method to help people suffering from
acute psychosocial crisis. The basis of effective crisis intervention is a
collaborative relationship facilitated by genuineness, respect and
acceptance. A thorough assessment of possible endangerment including
self harm and suicidal ideations or danger of being a target of violence or
even being harmful to others must be established. A facing dialogue
offering the possibilities to express and communicate difficult emotional
feelings, helping to restore emotional stability and to restore adaptive
functioning is an essential basis and might in addition be complemented
by medical and/or legal support.
