People love the Crisis Intervention Manual because it is an easy read and goes deeper into understanding ourselves and others, which keeps the material personally relevant throughout.

Reading this book will help people:

Learn how to handle every type of call with empathy and confidence utilizing simple, yet effective models and methods.

Learn why these problems occur and how to respond, using clearly explained examples that teach skills in action

Increase self-awareness through an abundance of self-directed exercises designed to expand consciousness of one’s feelings and judgments that can get in the way of being an effective helper.

Build confidence in one’s self as a helper through combining all the above factors - creating authentic experiences for both listeners and callers.

Try it out with a group of trainees and see the results first hand.

"My words can not do justice to the great amount of time, energy, and passion poured into creating this manual. What is different from all other helpline training manuals that I have seen thus far, is that it really tries to have the trainee examine themselves and their own issues. Also, it incorporates a deeper understanding of psychology that has a spiritual twist to it. This fits with me, as I believe when we are helping others, this is spiritual work."

"Kurt Christiansen's Crisis Intervention Manual has become like a bible for me, serving as a reference I continually turn to for guidance in my interactions with others both professionally as well as personally. Kurt's keen knowledge allows the reader to easily understand and practice these proven techniques. Additionally, the magnificent quotes from some of the great pioneers of psychotherapy that Kurt has chosen to include, provide valuable learning from those who have gone before. I could not be without it!"
