- 1. Use of clinical sociology in crisis intervention Dr. Sumity Arora
- 2. Definition of crisis • A temporary state of upset and disorganization, characterized by an inability to cope with a particular situation using customary methods of problem solving, and by the potential for a radically positive or negative outcome(kantor,2002)
- 3. Introduction • Crisis intervention is a practice-oriented set of procedures designed to offer someone experiencing incapacitating stress emotional first-aid. • Concepts and ideas found in the sociological tradition are quite applicable to crisis intervention practice. Clinical Sociology offers alternatives to the traditional psychological and psychiatric positions.
- 4. Relation between clinical sociology and crisis intervention • There are similar characteristics between crisis intervention and clinical sociology as change strategies. • Particularly, the ideas found under the sociological social psychology purview serve well when practicing crisis intervention. • The interpretation of crisis events is a social act in that the individual experiencing the crisis is influenced through social circumstances. • Social circumstances play a vital role in crisis formation and intervention
- 5. Role of clinical sociology in crisis intervention • Intervention strategies are offered which integrate aspects of clinical sociology while using a case study for application. • The crisis intervention steps include • crisis assessment, • information gathering, • control, direction, progress assessment, and referral. • Through these procedures, the intervener may work with the client toward the goal of socioemotional stability
- 6. Conclusion • Many sociological concepts are applicable to crisis intervention practice. The two approaches are quite compatible. • Individuals are social beings, affected by social circumstances. Crisis is not experienced in a psychological vacuum; social forces aid in the formation of crisis. • Personal crisis is formed through an interpretive and definitional framework. Precipitating events are given meaning through interpretation which, in turn, leads to a crisis state through a perceived threat to socioemotional stability. • It is through the precipitating events and the definition of the situation that the crisis is produced. • Once the clinician understands the social psychological basis of crisis formation, effective intervention strategy can be developed.
