Instruction
(1) EXPLORING A SPECIFIC CRISIS SITUATION
The purpose of this project is to allow the student to study one particular crisis situation in more depth. The student will then share what they learn via a short paper. You may choose to review any of the specific crisis situations in our textbook (chapters 6 12) that interests you (you may also choose to review a crisis situation that is not discussed in our textbook, but if so please get your instructors permission first.)
You will need to use at least 4 reputable sources in order to compile your paper (aside from our textbook). You are certainly welcome to use more, if youd like.
Your paper should attempt to minimally answer the following questions:
review of the selected crisis area;
discussion of the unique characteristics of the crisis;
exploration of crisis treatment considerations for helping these persons in crisis;
discussion of ethical, clinical, and cultural issues relevant to this area;
discussion of the implications for counseling practice; and
an overview of professional self-care issues for counselors working with individuals experiencing this type of crisis in other words, how they may be impacted by the work with these individuals and what safeguards should be implemented to prevent negative consequences of helping.
All content should be synthesized to produce a 3-4 page (aside from the title and references pages) double-spaced paper in APA format. Use headings and sub-headings you will want to guide your reader (me!) through the paper.
