This revised edition includes new case examples and expanded coverage of cross-cultural content, including 'commonalities and differences' in origins, manifestations, and crisis responses. The authors illustrate the application of crisis concepts, assessment, and intervention strategies across a wide range of health and mental health settings, as well as at home, school, workplace, and in the community. Each chapter contains a closing summary that includes discussion questions, references, and online data sources for maximum application and learning.  Updated chapters discuss new, research-based content on:   • workplace violence and abuse • youth violence in schools and higher education settings • the use of psychotropic drugs, including for very young children in the absence of comprehensive assessment • the crisis vulnerability of war veterans and the hazards of 'pathologizing' what should be considered a 'normal' response to the repeated and catastrophic trauma of war • the intersection of socio-political factors with individuals’ psychological healing from catastrophic experiences such as war and natural disaster.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49891831677201,"sku":"CIN0415990750G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51415828758801,"sku":"CIN0415990750VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415990750.jpg?v=1751006839"},{"product_id":"people-in-crisis-book-lee-ann-hoff-9780201129274","title":"People in Crisis","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346566418705,"sku":"CIN0201129272A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0201129272.jpg?v=1751006024"},{"product_id":"crisis-book-lee-ann-hoff-9780199364169","title":"Crisis","description":"Unlike books focusing on a single crisis topic, Crisis helps recognize common signs of endangerment across a range of life challenges by showing the interconnections between various harmful events. Through media coverage of school shootings, suicides, domestic abuse, workplace violence, and more, we've become accustomed to hearing about violence and trauma - almost invariably followed by reports that show all of the warning signs that were missed. While it is impossible to predict when, where, and with whom a crisis will occur, we do have the means to be better equipped to intervene in stressful situations before they tip over into a crisis. Important preventative information is readily available, and this book better prepares us to take appropriate responsive action. Often a crisis is the result of a critical life event; whether or not a life-changing event turns into a crisis depends on the type, timing, and interpretation of the event, the person's life cycle development phase, history of healthy coping, and available timely support. In sum, Lee Ann Hoff illustrates how to recognize crisis as both danger and opportunity. The more we know about how to spot a potential crisis and what to do, the more likely distressed persons will get the help they need.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51000120869137,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000123916561,"sku":"NIN9780199364169","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52472204493073,"sku":"NLS9780199364169","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199364168.jpg?v=1751356052"},{"product_id":"people-in-crisis-book-lee-ann-hoff-9780787900847","title":"People in Crisis","description":"This award winning work is a comprehensive guide to the current theory and practice of successful strategies for working with people in crisis.

In a life history perspective, using values and network analysis, it uncovers the social context of a ‘secret’ crime against women and reveals the relationship between personal crisis and traditional attitudes toward women, marriage, the family, and violence.  This book breaks new ground by redirecting attention beyond victim-blaming and the medicalization of violence to understanding domestic abuse victims as survivors who manage multiple crises despite public inattention to their plight. From analysis of the women’s struggles with violence and its aftermath, this book proposes a new crisis paradigm, which underscores the sociocultural aspects of crisis originating from violence.  This book will be of interest to those studying social sciences, women’s studies, social work, health and mental health professions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616967520529,"sku":"NLS9781138673625","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138673625.jpg?v=1761528902"},{"product_id":"battered-women-as-survivors-book-lee-ann-hoff-9780415043946","title":"Battered Women as Survivors","description":"Documents the results of an American field study of nine women who were victims of domestic violence, revealing why the women stayed with, and eventually left, their partners; the response they received from friends and professionals, and the problems they faced after leaving their partners.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52973195493649,"sku":"CIN0415043948G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415043946.jpg?v=1766787281"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-lee-ann-hoff.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
