Description: "Howard Stone's third edition of his pastoral care best-seller Crisis Counseling builds on the strengths of the earlier editions - in particular, its easily grasped and adopted intervention model - and expands it to consider the needs of people facing crisis in a post-9/11, post-Katrina world. With a thoroughly updated bibliography, new case studies, and an expanded focus on suicide, intervention in volatile or hazardous situations, and personal safety of the caregiver, and congregational care, this new edition continues to be a standard-bearer in its field."--BOOK JACKET.
