Essentials of Crisis Counseling and Intervention

I took a chance on this book not knowing what it would entail. It is very insightful and I encourage anyone who is in a mental health profession to read it! It is expensive but worth it. I received this book damaged in the corner which was a little irritating I definitely recommend different packaging to protect the book in future orders.

This book is very useful in understanding crisis and how to handle it. I use it to improve my service as a hospital social worker.

Good book came quickly

I read this book because I was able to take a test and get some CE credits from it. I'm a school counselor so I was hoping more for crisis interventions and less theory. The biggest pro about this book was the format. I really liked the quick references. You could probably just read those and get everything the book has to say. My biggest con was that this book reads exactly like a typical textbook you'd have to read for grad school which means its very boring but informative and seemed well researched. Its a rare book that can be informative and interesting and this one wasn't it. It wasn't particularly relevant to a lot of what I deal with but was interesting enough. For $30 I can't complain too much.

This is one of the nicest trauma crisis books I have seen. It is not an easy access like others, but useful as a reference. Information appears to be current.

The book covers all of the basics plus some! It is a must-have for helping professionals.

One of the better books for counseling in crisis situation. Well put together, more of a guide than detailed text.

Using as a quick reference for a graduate class.
