Task model of crisis intervention / 中国心理卫生杂志

ABSTRACT

The majority of current crisis intervention models are stage models.However,it is not certain that crisis intervention follows a linear process,and fixed procedure of stage models therefore may not provide efficient or effective crisis intervention.Task models,on the other hand,emphasize flexibility in crisis intervention by presenting main components,including three continuous tasks (i.e.,assessmem,safety,and support) and 4 focused tasks (i.e.,contact,re-establishing control,problem solving,and follow up).This theoretical framework may be helpful in creating standard practices of crisis intervention,examining the effectiveness of intervention plans,and providing guidance and training to counselors and researchers.
