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.
