1. Definitions
Crisis counseling is designed to be brief and generally persists no longer than a few weeks. The emphasis is on a single or recurrent crisis that may produce traumatic symptoms. If a trauma or crisis is not resolved in a timely and/or effective therapeutic manner, the experience can lead to more lasting psychological, social and medical problems. The term “crisis” refers to the manner in which an individual responds to a traumatic or difficult situation. Various events may trigger the crisis response such as developmental hurdles (such as going through puberty), natural disasters, and the death of a loved one.
