Caplan's Seven Characteristics of Effective Coping Behavior: - ✔️✔️Behaviors proposed
by Gerald Caplan (1964) as essential for getting through a crisis state. They can be
learned through formal crisis intervention, through experience, or while growing up. In

them to clients when possible.

of crisis intervention as a form of mental health treatment.
cognitive approaches: - ✔️✔️Approaches focusing on a person's perceptions and thinking
processes and how these lead to crisis states.

emotional distress. The crisis worker must identify the perception if he or she is to help
the client change it and thereby increase functioning.

administration directing all states to provide mental health treatment for people in crisis.

uses to handle stress and continue to function.

curvilinear model of anxiety: - ✔️✔️Model showing that anxiety has the potential to be
either a positive or a negative influence for someone in crisis. Too much anxiety may
overwhelm the person and lead to lowered functioning. However, moderate anxiety may

motivate the person to grow from the experience of trauma. People who have no
anxiety tend not to be motivated to make any changes at all.
danger and opportunity: - ✔️✔️Dichotomy associated with a crisis. A crisis can be an
opportunity when the person grows by developing new coping skills and altering
perceptions. It can be a danger when the person does not seek help and instead copes
with the crisis state by using defense mechanisms, resulting in a lowered functioning
level and possibly psychosis or even death.
developmental crises: - ✔️✔️Normal transitional stages that often trigger crisis states,
which all people pass through while growing through the life span.
ego strength: - ✔️✔️The degree to which people can see reality clearly and meet their
needs realistically. People with strong egos usually cope with stress better than people
with weaker egos.
emotional distress: - ✔️✔️Painful and uncomfortable feelings experienced by a person in
crisis.

and anxiety. The crisis worker believes that anxiety can be a motivator for change and

responsibility for the choices.
