    Study Notes

    Levels of Crisis Theory

    • Three levels: basic crisis intervention, expanded crisis theory, and applied crisis theory.

    Normal Grief Behaviors (Lindemann)

    • Preoccupation with the deceased individual.
    • Identification with the lost one.
    • Expressions of guilt and hostility toward oneself or others.
    • Disorganization in daily routines.
    • Evidence of somatic complaints.

    Basic Crisis Intervention Theory

    • Crisis arises from barriers to life goals that current behaviors cannot overcome.

    Basic Crisis Equilibrium/Disequilibrium Paradigm

    • Stages include: disturbed equilibrium, brief therapy or grief work, working through the problem/grief, and restoration of equilibrium.

    Goal of Basic Crisis Intervention

    • Aim to eliminate affective, behavioral, and cognitive distortions that led to psychological trauma.

    Brief Therapy Theory

    • Focuses on addressing ongoing emotional issues over a short period.

    Basic Crisis Theory

    • Emphasizes aiding individuals in crises to recognize and rectify temporary distortions caused by trauma.

    Expanded Crisis Theory

    • Integrates psychoanalytic theory with systems, ecosystems, adaptational, interpersonal, chaos, and developmental theories.

    Psychoanalytic Theory

    • Understanding the crisis requires accessing unconscious thoughts and past emotional experiences.

    Systems Theory

    • Studies interrelationships and interdependence among people and events.

    Ecosystems Theory

    • Examines crises concerning the environmental context in which they occur.

    Ecosystem Theory Application

    • Primarily used in large-scale disasters impacting significant macrosystems.

    Adaptational Theory

    • Views crises as sustained through maladaptive behaviors, negative thoughts, and destructive defense mechanisms.

    Interpersonal Theory

    • Suggests individuals can overcome crisis if they believe in their abilities and the support of others.

    Chaos Theory

    • Applies evolutionary concepts to human functioning, suggesting crises may lead to the emergence of new systems.

    Developmental Theory

    • Highlights the importance of navigating developmental stages for personal growth.

    Crisis in Developmental Theory

    • Crises occur when external events compound preexisting developmental challenges, increasing intrapersonal and interpersonal tensions.

    Applied Crisis Theory Domains

    • Encompasses normal developmental crises, situational crises, existential crises, and ecosystemic crises.

    Developmental Crises

    • Result from significant shifts in the natural progression of human growth.

    Situational Crises

    • Arise from rare, unpredictable events that individuals cannot foresee or manage.

    Existential Crises

    • Encompass internal conflicts relating to purpose, responsibility, independence, freedom, and commitment.

    Ecosystemic Crises
