  • Title: Short-term intervention: a model of emergency services for times of crisis.
    Author: Yanoov B, Chetkow BH.
    Journal: Ment Health Soc; 1976; 3(1-2):33-52. PubMed ID: 1018640.
    Abstract:
    This paper approaches 'crisis' in system terms. The analysis is applied broadly to organization and community systems, as well as to personality and small-group systems. Based primarily on current developments in Israel, it is written from the viewpoint of a community social worker. Using public health theory, the author develops a model of three distinct types of social service systems: Restorative (traditional), Curative (crisis-intervention in the literature of therapy), and Preventive. He goes on to elaborate both the general characteristics of these service systems and the particular emergency-oriented contribution each can make in times of community-wide crisis.
