People in crisis / Hoff, Lee Ann

"In People in Crisis every crisis worker-regardless of discipline-will find a treasury of practical guidelines that are comprehensive, well organized, illustrated by appropriate examples, and thoroughly referenced. Lee Ann Hoff covers the spectrum of crisis experience-individual, couples, group, and community, never losing sight of the uniqueness of each clinical situation and its cultural context." Jerome A. Motto, professor of psychiatry, emeritus, University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine.
