Abstract
This paper will discuss the case of Ariadne; it will summarize the diagnostic skills and techniques used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as well as co-occurring mental disorders during a crisis, disaster, or other trauma-causing event. It will evaluate the key elements of the crisis, disaster, or trauma-causing event to include the nature of the crisis and associated risks, including client and counselor safety. This paper will differentiate the characteristics of crisis states versus developmentally appropriate reactions of life obstacles and will differentiate crisis intervention strategies for diverse populations. Lastly, this paper will apply situational appropriate, evidenced based crisis intervention skills and strategies, by prioritizing crisis response to specific crisis situations.
