The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention: Working with Veterans

In this course Dr Kristi Kanel, Ph.D., Professor of Human Services at California State University, Fullerton, takes viewers through the ABC model of crisis intervention. In the first 25 minutes of the video, Dr Kanel explains the skills associated with the three parts of the intervention model: A) Development of rapport; B) Identifying the problem; C) Coping. For most of the remainder of the video, Dr Kanel demonstrates the use of the model with a veteran who has experienced P.T.S.D. During the last six minutes, there is a discussion of how the session went in which a licenced family therapist gives feedback.
