People in crisis: clinical and diversity perspectives

"Since its original publication in 1978, People in Crisis has established itself as a classic text in the field, while each subsequent edition has been updated and revised in order to keep pace with the newest research and trends - the sixth edition is no exception. Joining Lee Ann Hoff are two new collaborators, who further expand the interdisciplinary foundations of the text and add new expertise on resilience, workplace violence, war and trauma, and youth violence. The sixth edition also incorporates a new emphasis on diversity, while shifting its focus back to clinical issues that help prepare students for the challenges they will face in this field." "Students in psychology, counseling, social work, nursing, and family studies, as well as those enrolled in substance abuse degree of certificate programs, police, emergency workers, and others who work with people in crisis will find this text to be a timely resource."--Jacket.
