  • Maslow identified
  • A hierarchy of needs
  • Self-actualization as fulfillment of ones
    highest potential
  • Defined as The successful adaptation to
    stressors from the internal or external
    environment, evidenced by thoughts, feelings, and
    behaviors that are age-appropriate and congruent
    with local and cultural norms.

4
MENTAL ILLNESS
  • Defined as Maladaptive responses to stressors

70
CRISIS
  • Assumptions on which the concept of crisis is
    based
  • Crisis occurs in all individuals at one time or
    another and is not necessarily equated with
    psychopathology.
  • Crises are precipitated by specific identifiable
    events.
  • Crises are personal by nature.
  • Crises are acute, not chronic, and are resolved
    in one way or another within a brief period.
  • A crisis situation contains the potential for
    psychological growth or deterioration.

71
PHASES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRISIS
  • The individual is exposed to a precipitating
    stressor.
  • When previous problem-solving techniques do not
    relieve the stressor, anxiety increases further.
  • All possible resources, both internal and
    external, are called on to resolve the problem
    and relieve the discomfort.
  • If resolution does not occur in previous phases,
    the tension mounts beyond a further threshold or
    its burden increases over time to a breaking
    point. Major disorganization of the individual
    occurs, often with drastic results.

72
TYPES OF CRISIS
  • Dispositional crisis
  • Crisis of anticipated life transitions
  • Crisis resulting from traumatic stress
  • Maturational/developmental crisis
  • Crisis reflecting psychopathology
  • Psychiatric emergency

73
CRISIS INTERVENTION
  • The minimum therapeutic goal of crisis
    intervention is psychological resolution of the
    individuals immediate crisis and restoration to
    at least the level of functioning that existed
    before the crisis period.
  • A maximum goal is improvement in functioning
    above the precrisis level.

74
Phases of Crisis Intervention The Role of the
Nurse
  • Phase 1. Assessment
  • Phase 2. Planning of therapeutic intervention
  • Phase 3. Intervention
  • Phase 4. Evaluation of crisis resolution and
