As a college professor teaching courses in the school of social work, I found Dr. Hoff's book an excellent text. The book covers all aspect of crisis intervention and illustrates the concepts with case examples. It was rated very highly by all the students in the class, as well as professional colleagues in the field. As a clinician providing crisis intervention to dirverse populations on a daily basis, I found the book to be a great help, and a wonderful teaching tool for staff and interns in the field as well. I hightly recommend it to anyone. I especially appreciated Dr. Hoff's philosphy on life and strenth of the individuals
Excellent practical approaches to common human crisies

I used this book to supplement material in a graduate level Crisis Intervention class, and found it to be invaluable. There is a smattering of theory, but the bulk of the material focuses on understanding the human situation behind common crises such as suicide, loss, HIV, homelessness,victims of violence, health care crises, voiolent people, and life-change crises. Very practical and readily applicable, the text lends a firm backbone to anyone working in the crisis management field for the first time, and even for old timers who have never felt quite comfortable with suicide, etc. Takes the guesswork out of understanding the issues behind the problem, and empowers the worker. I highly recommend this book.
