Inhaltsangabe

Cavaiola and Colford's CASES IN CRISIS INTERVENTION explores key topics in crisis intervention with practical cases, serving as an excellent, application-oriented tool for students in the helping professions. Topics and settings in CASES IN CRISIS INTERVENTION include domestic violence, child maltreatment, bereavement, school crises and workplace crises. The range of examples will help prepare students with the information they need to succeed in professional practice. Each chapter begins with discussion questions to help foster critical thinking in students. In addition, the text contains an overview of recent crisis data and research, helping to contextualize the case featured in each chapter. CASES IN CRISIS INTERVENTION can be used as a stand-alone text for any crisis intervention course, or it can be used as a companion to Cavaiola and Colford's A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CRISIS INTERVENTION.

Dr. Cavaiola has published extensively in the field of addictions and has presented at many national and international conferences.

In addition to his teaching, Dr. Cavaiola is a Licensed Psychologist, a Licensed Clinical Alcohol/Drug Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a New Jersey certified Disaster Response Crisis Counselor. Dr. Cavaiola has a private practice in Fair Haven, NJ. Joseph E. Colford, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Psychology Department of Georgian Court University in Lakewood, New Jersey, and is the Director of the Graduate Program in School Psychology. He has had extensive experience in public education as a school psychologist, in private practice, and in higher education as associate professor. His experiences in working with school-age children in the aftermath of a variety of crisis types lead to his collaboration with Dr. Cavaiola in this casebook and in their earlier work, A Practical Guide to Crisis Intervention (Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning). Dr. Colford also created a graduate-level course, School Crisis Prevention and Intervention, for his program, incorporating sound practices for crisis prevention and for crisis intervention with children, adolescents, their schools and families. The political and social landscape of the 21st century convinced him that such a casebook was important for mental health professionals who work in a variety of settings.
