Author Description

<p>The fast-paced, unpredictable, and high-risk nature of crisis intervention creates critical ethical dilemmas that can result in personal harm and professional liability if not handled appropriately. Applying a traditional model of ethical decision-making is often impractical when time is limite and decisions must be made quickly. This counseling tool kit offers a new operational approach for integrating ethical decision-making in crisis intervention. Following detailed discussions of crisis intervention within the framework of realtional-cultural theory, a triage assessment system, and an original ethical decision-making protocol, nine diverse case studies in hospital, telebehavioral health, school, clinical, and public settings are presented. Students and practitioners will build a repertoire of ethical decision-making skills to de-escalae crisis incidents and provide an appropriate level of support to individuals experiencing crisis.</p> <p>*Requests for digital versions from ACA can be found on <b>www.wiley.com</b></p> <p>*To purchase print copies, please visit the ACA website <b>https://imis.counseling.org/store/</b></p> <p>*Reproduction requests for material from books published by ACA should be directed to publications@counseling.org</p>
