Crisis Intervention Using the NASP PREPaRE Model (2nd ed.)

Evaluate Psychological Trauma
Rationale for Assessing Psychological Trauma
1. Unique consequences of crisis exposure.
a. Not all individuals will be equally affected.
b. Recovery is the norm.
i. Crisis intervention should be offered in response
to demonstrated need.
ii.“Not everyone exposed to trauma either needs
or wants professional help.” (McNally et al.,
2003, p. 73)
iii. Exception: students with preexisting
psychopathology.
