Abstract
During the past 20 years crisis intervention has been developed into a technique for the treatment of acute schizophrenic episodes. Several program models have appeared to provide intensive, crisis-oriented treatment for severely disturbed psychiatric patients in a wide spectrum of settings, including crisis residential programs, crisis day treatment centers, crisis-oriented hospital inpatient units, crisis family treatment centers, mobile crisis units, and crisis clinics. Many of these programs were developed to function as alternatives to hospitalization or continued hospitalization.
