In these turbulent times, thorough grounding in crisis intervention
and cognitive approaches are important components of every
practitioner's repertoire. The chapters in this volume provide
highly informative, up-to-date, and practical resources for the
application of these interrelated approaches to many major crisis
situations in which we must prepare ourselves and our students to
intervene. This is an excellent resource for my graduate students
and community training interns. --John Kalafat, Ph.D., Professor of
Psychology, Spalding University and Co-Chair, School Committee,
American Association of Suicidology "In a world of increasing
global awareness of violence and disaster coupled with decreasing
budgets and an emphasis on briefer interventions, practitioners
need to expand and modify intervention strategies. The contributors
to this volume present a wide range of techniques within Albert R.
Roberts's crisis intervention model. For those in the trauma field,
this book is a wealth of information and referral sources." --Mary
Beth Williams, Ph.D., LCSW, Trauma Recover Education &
Counseling Center, Warrenton, Virginia "Albert R. Roberts has
provided a much-needed text that belongs on every criminal justice
professional's bookshelf. Crisis Intervention and Time-Limited
Cognitive Treatment covers the emerging trends within the field in
an outstanding manner." --Harvey Wallace, J.D., Director, Victims
Institute and Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, California
State University, Fresno "Albert R. Roberts's edited book is the
most comprehensive book I have seen on the application of cognitive
therapy to the practice of crisis intervention and time-limited
treatment. Crisis Intervention and Time-Limited Cognitive Treatment
will be necessary reading by all mental health and social service
administrators and practitioners who are often struggling to
respond to the changing realities brought about by managed care.
This is the first book to provide a national perspective on 24-hour
crisis hotlines, cognitive therapy, and crisis intervention units
of community mental health centers. it includes detailed
information on crisis intervention and 24-hour crisis hotlines in
every state in the nation. This exceptionally well-written book
also includes valuable guidelines, practice wisdom, and cognitive
therapy techniques for intervening with domestic stalking victims,
battered women, rape victims, persons with sexual disorders,
persons with AIDS, disaster victims, and families of homicide
victims. This groundbreaking, provocative volume does an excellent
job of integrating theory and foundation skills with the latest
brief cognitive therapy technology in dealing with a wide range of
client problems that practitioners deal with on a regular basis. I
predict that this timely book will become a classic for all of us
who strive to resolve acute psychological as well as situational
crises." --Gilbert J. Greene, Associate Professor of Social Work,
The Ohio State University "Albert R. Roberts's new volume
significantly extends his earlier groundbreaking work in the field
of crisis intervention by showing how cognitive approaches can help
clients cope with a wide variety of crises. Using detailed case
histories, Roberts and his contributors have shown how short-term
treatment can play a major role in helping people regain their
equilibrium when faced with high-risk situations." --Bernard Bloom,
Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Colorado at Boulder
"With the publication of this book, Dr. Roberts has met a critical
need. At a time when a wide range of criminal justice and other
professionals are called upon to respond to individuals and
communities in crisis situations, Dr. Roberts has developed an
outstanding resource and most inclusive book on crisis
intervention. The thorough presentation of both established and
cutting-edge strategies, crisis treatment, trauma therapy, and
survivors' services will make this book the essential tool for
criminologists, criminal justice professors, victimologists,
forensic psychologists, as well as service providers. This volume
is packed with vivid case examples and practical step-by-step
applications, and up-to-date information about how to help persons
in crisis, including suicide attempters, disaster victims,
hostages, stalking victims, rape victims, and parents of murdered
children. The book also includes a 90-page directory of suicide
prevention agencies, rape crisis programs, battered women's
shelters, addiction treatment programs, and victim assistance
programs." --Jane Nady Burnley, Ph.D., Executive Director, VALOR:
