ABC Model of Crisis Intervention
Read all ofChapter 4The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention; within Kanel K. (2012).A guide to crisis intervention. Belmont CA: Cengage.(It is more than 30 pages so may not open up well in devices.)
Here are the instructions the template and the crisis cases to process using the ABC method. The above chapter on the ABC methodgives your far more than I’m expecting in this case paper. Keep it straightforward and use bullet points with the steps of what you will do not discourse nor verbatim. (e.g. If you want to build trust and rapport say just that – don’t give me Client how are you feeling now? or Askclient if she is …..etc.). This assignment will help you greatly with crisis case conceptualizations.
BASIC HELPING AND CRISIS INTERVENTION
THE ABC’S OF CRISIS COUNSELING 1. ACHIEVE A Relationship with the Person
List in bulleted points how you are going to do that for this client

2. BREAK DOWN THE PROBLEM
List in bulleted points what you see are the problems giving them a triage
order of subheadings (Physical Emotional. Cognitive/Mental Social Spiritual) with bullets under each of these subheadings

3a. COUNSELOR: COMMITMENT TO ACTION
List in bulleted points what you will do as a counselor addressing each of the problem areas you identified above under those subheadings. Stay in the same triage order you listed above. (Watch that you dont become the enabler)

3b. CLIENT: COMMITMENT TO ACTION
List in bulleted points what the client will do addressing each of the problem areas you identified above under those subheadings. Stay in the same triage order you listed above. (What should client do to help self and be empowered).

Remember that you can address only client issues not those of the invisible people from the client story who are not your clients nor can you include them in interventions without their permission.
(Do not leave my instructions under each of those headings in your paper.)
