HUSS 235 Bryant and Stratton Maslow Hierarchy of Needs during Crisis Intervention Paper Part 1

Directions
As we’ve seen thus far, the primary focus of a crisis interventionist is to ensure the safety of all involved in the crisis situation. We’ve examined the theories, models, and strategies necessary to intervene successfully in a crisis, as well as examined the essential characteristics of crisis intervention workers. Next, we will review the specific dynamics of crisis case handling.

Abraham Maslow (1970) wrote concerning a hierarchy of needs. Meeting the basic physical needs of food, clothing, and shelter were first on his list. This is an important concept, particularly in the field of crisis intervention. According to Gilliland and James (2013) “paramount in psychological first aid is attending to Maslow’s needs hierarchy and taking care of survival needs first”. Many counselors, social workers and psychologists helped meet basic needs of food, shelter, clothing and other survival needs during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina before they did any counseling” (p. 19).

Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a reference, explain why you feel it’s important to have an understanding of this hierarchy in relation to the field of crisis intervention. Predict some of the pitfalls even experienced crisis workers could fall into without knowledge of basic human needs when intervening on a client’s behalf.

for a transcription of the video.) Based on the video shown, write an essay at least one page in length identifying and evaluating the interventions shown. Use the following questions to guide your essay:

What “tools of the trade” were demonstrated by the worker?
How were safety concerns addressed? How was mobility determined?
What was the crisis worker’s level of involvement and how did the level of involvement change throughout the interview? What factors determined whether the crisis worker took a directive, collaborative, or non-directive approach?
From the hybrid model of crisis intervention, what tasks can be identified that took place during the intervention?

Discuss the characteristics of effective crisis workers and what skills are
necessary to effectively intervene in a crisis.

Taking a multiculturalist perspective, review the following scenario and write a
brief response on what you think would be important points for the crisis worker
handling the case to consider. What might some of the culturally biased
assumptions be in this case? What might be an appropriate response given the
situation?
Cho and his family are immigrants from Burma and involved in a refugee resettlement with
your agency. Cho and his son speak fairly good English; however his wife speaks only
Burmese. Prior to coming to the US, the family lived in a work camp along with their
extended family members (with whom they lost contact when they emigrated from Burma).
The work camp was horrendous – little food, inadequate shelter, and abusive work
conditions. It has come to your attention that Cho’s ten- year-old son got into a fight with
another peer while at school yesterday and apparently the parent of this child came to Cho’s
home earlier today and beat him up pretty badly. The police were contacted by a neighbor
and little more information is available. Cho recently began a new job and is now unable to
work, due to his injuries. Cho’s wife came to the agency worker visibly upset and crying.
The family is already having difficulty paying the rent and utilities.
