Therapeutic Interpersonal Behavior in the Crisis Situation: An Empirical Study of Coping Responses.

DeWine, Sue; Alderton, Steven

Research in crisis intervention has prescribed how trained but non-professional individuals should and do act in a crisis situation. The present study, however, focused on the types of responses untrained helpers use to respond to the crisis of another individual. Results indicate that types of responses vary significantly, with probing and supportive modes of response used most often. (Author)
