Contributors who are identified only by name present a textbook for use in a counseling curriculum that takes account of the change in perception and orientation about crisis intervention since 911: then it was focused on individual events, particularly suicidal clients, now it includes terrorist attacks, school shootings, natural disasters, and infrastructure failures as well as more concern with violence in private contexts such as partners and children. Addressing first the elements of crisis intervention then special issues, they consider such topics as reacting in crisis situations, grief and loss, intimate partner violence, and addressing substance abuse and dependence within the crisis context.
