According to Roberts crisis assessment is to provide a systematic method of organizing client information related to personal characteristics, parameters of the crisis episode, and the intensity and duration of the crisis, and utilizing this data to develop effective treatment plans (Roberts, 2002). The most important assessment is to first Asses the lethality, I will be using the ABCs of assessing in crisis intervention along with Roberts model. The triage system is important as it enables the worker to gauge the severity of the client’s current functioning across affective, behavioural, and cognitive domains. The degree of severity of the crisis may affect the client’s mobility, which in turn gives the worker a basis for judging how directive to be (Gilliland, 2013). The ABCs Of Assesing in crisis intervention According to the Abcs of assessment, assement is primary, intentional and ongoing.it is important as it enabled me to determine the severity of the crisis, the clients presenting emotional state, the clients level of emotional immobility; the alternatives, coping mechanisms, support systems and other resources available to the client, and the clients level of lethality...

...Running head: A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Therapy Brandon Carpenter Liberty Theological Seminary Abstract The paper discusses the brief counseling approach to crisis intervention as utilized by the author. After a crisis is defined and determined, the author uses a short-term counseling methodology adapted from the ABC model as introduced in Kristi Kanal’s text. The counseling pedagogy blends the elements of the ABC model with biblical principles which may be used by the Christian counselor for the purpose of short-term crisis management. A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Counseling Every believer in Jesus Christ is called to a ministry of encouraging and helping others, especially to other brothers and sisters in the faith whose lives have been encroached upon by a crisis. Many times the abundant life that was promised by Jesus is disrupted when a crisis presents itself. Although every believer can experience the joy of their salvation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit which inwardly resides in them, Christians are not exempt from the distress and vulnerability that crises are capable of producing. Counseling, which is bathed in prayer and which appropriately uses and applies the Word of God, is an essential responsibility of Christian life and fellowship. Moreover, various intervention models and presuppositions are available...

...1 ABC Model of Crises Intervention Linda S Dallas Kaplan University Prof: Patricia Grace HN220-01: Prevention and Crises Intervention 2 Although not everyone that comes across a stressor in life will experience a crisis, some are unable to cope with the stressor in a healthy manner and eventually succumb to a crisis. If this person does not receive the adequate crisis intervention during this state, he or she is likely to be unable to function at the level he or she had been functioning before the crisis. This will inevitably lead to additional crisis scenarios for every stressor they must face in life. “This pattern can go on for many years until the person’s ego is completely drained of its capacity to deal with reality; often such people commit suicide, kill someone, or have a psychotic breakdown.” (Kanel, K. 2007). In order to be able to help the client to the best of the counselor’s abilities, the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention provides a useful guideline to learn about crisis intervention. In our textbook, Kanel states that “The three aspects of a crisis are (1) A precipitating event occurs; (2) the perception of this event leads to subjective distress; and (3) usual coping methods fail, leading the person experiencing the event to function psychologically, emotionally, or behaviorally at a lower level than before the precipitating event occurred.” In order to successfully help a client cope with a crisis, these three components must be recognized so that...

...Experiencing the Unthinkable HN220 – Kaplan University May 12, 2015 Experiencing the Unthinkable Throughout life, every single person in the world will experience the unthinkable. Experiencing the dying moments or death of a person, whether you love them or not, can be a difficult time. Grieving is a natural healing process that occurs after a significant loss. Moving on and starting anew can also be difficult Sally and Mike have recently lost their 6 year old son to cancer. Sally is having a difficult time with the loss and Mike while still grieving the loss has moved on and accepted it. Mike is there to support his wife but doesn’t exactly know what he needs to do. Sally is feeling that she should have died instead of her son. Sally cannot accept that her son is no longer alive and is telling her God to take her and bring her son back. Kubler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief When working with someone that is dealing with the loss of a loved one a good tool to use would be Kubler-Ross’s 5 Stages. The first stage is denial and isolation. The first reaction to learning of terminal illness or death of a cherished loved one is to deny the reality of the situation. We block out the words and hide from the facts. This is a temporary response that carries us through the first wave of pain. The second stage is anger. As the effects of denial and isolation wears off anger sets in. The anger may be aimed at inanimate objects, complete strangers, friends or family. Stage three is...

...SEE HOW WE CAN HELP Outline labelling theory and consider its usefulness in understanding youth crime and anti-social behaviour in Britain today. Outline labelling theory and consider its usefulness in understanding youth crime and anti-social behaviour in Britain today. Labelling theory claims that deviance and conformity results not so much from what people do but from how others respond to those actions, it highlights social responses to crime and deviance Macionis and Plummer, (2005).Deviant behaviour is therefore socially constructed. This essay will describe in full the labelling theory and comment on the importance of the theory to the deviant behaviour of the youth and the anti-social behaviour of the youth in Britain today. The labelling theory becomes dominant in the early 1960s and the late 1970s when it was used as a sociological theory of crime influential in challenging orthodox positivity criminology. The key people to this theory were Becker and Lement.The foundations of this view of deviance are said to have been first established by Lement, (1951) and were subsequently developed by Becker, (1963).As a matter of fact the labelling theory has subsequently become a dominant paradigm in the explanation of devience.The symbolic interaction perspective was extremely active in the early foundations of the labelling theory. The labelling theory is constituted by the assumption that deviant behaviour is to be seen not simply as the violation of a norm but...

...Does social marketing have a future? Social marketing has grown significantly recent years with increasing interest in the field. However, social marketing hasn’t reached it’s full potential yet, with no clear understanding of the field and what its role should be compared to other approaches to social change. As the growth of technology and the birth of Internet, social marketing has never been more relevant and highlighted in the field of marketing that it has today. This essay will evaluate past and current thinking on social marketing based on a range of academic and practitioner sources. Social marketing have often confused people to its definition. It has sometimes been regularly confused with societal marketing (Andreasen, 1995) whereas others have proposed it to be social responsibility campaigns when supported by commercial operatives, were it adds assets to the public in well-being efforts (Hastings and Angus, 2011). Yet, it’s original definition stated that; social marketing is the control, implementation and design of programs estimated to effect the appropriateness of social notions and concerning thoughts of product preparation, communication, price, marketing research and distribution (Kotler and Zaltman, 1971). Social marketing was formerly stimulated in an article written by the sociologist G. D. Wiebe in 1952 (Andreasen, 2002). Wiebe was anxious that marketing wasn’t related to troubles such as were friendship could be sold as rewarded goods (Corner...

...life. Practitioners in this field achieve this feat by bringing on board stakeholders that include private and public organizations, communities and individuals. Public health concerns itself with tackling threats facing the health of its various stakeholders. The main objective of public health intervention is to better the health of individuals through treating and preventing diseases and other health related conditions (Turnock, 2012). This paper will address the most pressing public health challenge and move to an intervention system that can be used to tackle the challenge. Obesity is one of the greatest challenges that the public health continues to contend with in this modern times. This challenge has imparted negative health consequences and high costs to the society as a whole. Obesity is a health condition whose main feature is the accumulation of excess body fat in a patient’s body. This condition comes about from the sustenance of adiposity which occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. A person is considered obese when his BMI exceeds 29.9 kg/m2. BMI has been used as an important measure for obesity and has helped in informing public health interventions to deal with this challenge (Kopelman et al, 2010). The Burden of Obesity The world has witnessed a steady increase in the prevalence of obesity in the world. In the UK, the prevalence of obesity has proceeded at doubling rate annually and it is estimated that by the...

Kress Abstract This article examines the behavioral treatment of Trichotillomania. A brief overview of the diagnosis and assessment of Trichotillomania is provided. Guidelines for a structured clinical evaluation when working with people diagnosed with Trichotillomania are supplied. The most effective behavioral interventions and treatments for working with client’s diagnosed with Trichotillomania are discussed. Keywords: Trichotillomania, Behavioal Assessment,Behavior Treatment Introduction The reported incidence of Trichotillomania is rising with an estimated prevalence rate of 1%, suggesting that nearly 2.5 million people in the United States have this disorder (Diefenbach, Reitman, & Williamson, 2000). Increased attention should be given to the assessment and treatment of Trichotillomania to fulfill the escalating needs of those dealing with this mental disorder. There is a tendency for the severity of this disorder to be overlooked due to the underestimation of prevalence, and high rate of comorbidity with other psychological disorders (Mulinari-Brenner & Bergfeld, 2001). This article will provide suggestions for the behavioral assessment and treatment of Trichotillomania. It is helpful for individuals to become familiar with the diagnostic features of Trichotillomania to establish the proper...

...change organisations must develop the ability to respond and anticipate the future in order to maintain their competitive edge. In May 2014 ABC Plc announced some of the most disappointing interim financial results in its history. In the 13 weeks to the 4th May 2014, total sales excluding fuel were down by 4.2% (down 5.6% including fuel) and like for like sales were down 7.1% (8.2% including fuel). Earlier in the year ABC had already announced plans to realise savings of £1bn over the coming three years to strengthen the business and reinforce its core customer proposition. In order to deliver these savings the business will need to undertake a root and branch review of all its activities and every team and department has a responsibility to the wider business to contribute to meeting this savings target by working in the most efficient manner possible. In 2003 Sir Peter Gershon led a review into efficiency within the public services and expressed the potential for efficiencies in four ways: • Reduced costs for same outputs. • Reduced staff time for the same outputs. • More quality for the same resources. • More outputs for the same resources. Source:A- Systematic Approach to Service Improvement 2008,ODPM . Within ABC Logistics there are many opportunities for efficiency gains within all of these four categories. Historically ABC has been developed in a mechanistic manner adopting a push mentality in regards to its customers commonly referred to as ‘stack em high and...

...Introduction By Paul Andrisani and Simon Hakim Co-Directors Center for Competitive Government Richard J. Fox School of Business and Management Temple University Privatization of public services to reduce cost and improve quality has a long history. Peter Drucker, the Austrian born management professor, was the first to suggest contracting out of local services to private companies. Indeed many municipal services were already contracted out by 1980 in Great Britain. But the most significant drive for privatization in Great Britain, which signaled the way to the rest of the world, came about with the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. In the following decade a host of state owned enterprises were privatized including British Petroleum, British Aerospace, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, National Freight Corp., Cable and Wireless, British Airways, British Gas, British Telecom, several water and electric utilities. In addition, public housing was sold to the residents and compulsory competitive bidding of local services was initiated. By the late 1980’s, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina elected presidents who adopted privatization initiatives. But the trend toward privatization was not confined to western countries. The collapse of Communism in the Soviet Bloc prompted the sale of many state owned enterprises as well as other forms of privatization. Even earlier, China in 1978 allowed private farming and later private sector manufacturing and...

No country would be more awkwardly caught in the middle of conflicting security and economic interests than Australia if the simmering Taiwan dispute actually flared into war and the United States asked its Pacific allies to join defending the island. The result of such a conflict is a foregone conclusion, given the ramshackle state of China's military, and the US could probably live with the political and economic damage.
