Assessing the Crisis
Part One
Watch the Scenario 6 video clip, “Crisis Line.” Using the hybrid model, provide an example of each step illustrated in the video.
Tasks in the hybrid model | Example of each step |
Predispositioning, engaging, and initiating contact | The counselor started the conversation well by doing a slight summary thus engaging the client. |
Exploring problems: defining the crisis | The counselor search for a way to find out what became of their marriage after separation. |
Providing support | The counselor provides a variety of activities that could support the client such as showing love through actions. |
Examining alternatives | The following are instances of other possibility given; does the client want the marriage? Does he still love the wife? Does he know what love is? |
Planning in order to reestablish control | The client is no longer wanting to be in the marriage. He states “my wife has taken way to long to communicate with me.” The counselor proposes that he change his attitude about the recincliation but he doesn’t see a reasin because he thinks nobody cares about him. This includes his parents, relatives and friends. |
Obtaining commitment | The client has a thinks that he is not loved by anyone therefore he choses to keep it for himself . |
Following up | The client is disallusioned therefore there is no clear pathway on if we should meet again. |
Part Two
Create a progress note* that captures the ABCs of assessment—affective, behavioral, and cognitive—from the video in Part One. See the following example before completing the table that follows.
Affective |

Client appeared to be depressed, as evidenced by tearfulness during the session. Client denied any suicidal or homicidal ideation (SI/HI) and reported no past history of danger to self or others (DTS/DTO). |
Behavioral |
Client was asked if there have been times in the past that she felt this way. She stated the last time she felt like this was a year ago when she failed her math final. This writer explored strategies with the client that helped the last time she felt this way. The client reported that she has been able to get a lot of assistance from talking with her friends and running. She stated her friends are very supportive and that running helps her feel better about herself. Client agreed that if she continued feeling this way over the next 24 hours, she would call her best friend and go for a run. |
Cognitive |
