crisis intervention
This term is primarily used within clinical psychology, social work, and emergency medicine. It describes a targeted, time-limited response designed to stabilize a person in acute distress, rather than providing long-term psychotherapy. The focus is on immediate safety and the restoration of equilibrium.
In professional settings, it is often distinguished from "crisis management," which typically refers to organizational or corporate responses to disasters. Crisis intervention is specifically person-centered and focused on psychological stabilization.
Meanings
An immediate, short-term psychological and social assistance provided to individuals experiencing an acute emotional or mental health crisis to prevent further deterioration and stabilize the person.
The hospital provides a 24-hour crisis intervention service for patients experiencing severe depressive episodes.
