Crisis telephone counselling : an exploratory study of outcomesCarver, Frances A., n/a January 1995 (has links)
This exploratory study examined outcomes of single telephone counselling
calls, with a self-selected sample of 38 clients from a family counselling
agency. The sample was interviewed by telephone at two days and six
weeks after the call to assess crisis counselling outcomes in affect,
identification of the problem and action taken, and client equilibrium.
Repeated measures of the 'perceptual concordance' of counsellor and client
were taken over a period of six weeks, assessing levels of concordance
between client and counsellor about perceptions of counselling, and client
equilibrium. The sufficiency of a single counselling session was also
assessed.
'Perceptual concordance' was suggested by reduced client stress, high levels
of agreement between client and counsellor in the identification of the
problem and agreed action, and satisfaction with the counselling. Positive
indicators of restored client equilibrium included a maintenance of lower
stress levels, changes in behaviour, improvement in perceptions of the
seriousness of the problem, satisfaction with life and with the counselling.
Further research of equilibrium as a concept, and an indicator of crisis
resolution is warranted. The sufficiency of a single session of counselling
was supported by 56% of clients.
The variety of services used by clients as an outcome of the counselling
suggests that it could be beneficial for telephone counselling agencies to
offer a follow-up call. Verifying the agreed action and assessing equilibrium
could be useful indicators of effective telephone counselling.

Stories of survival in the wake of violence and abuse on the Cape FlatsWilkinson, Katheryn Lynn January 1900 (has links)
The Cape Flats is characterised by widespread poverty, unemployment and frequent incidents of domestic and gang related violence. The presence of gangs in and around many of the schools in this area poses a serious problem for the community and the Western Cape Education Department. Schools are disrupted, while principals, teachers and learners are in constant fear and danger of gangsters' bullets. Families in
these communities are exposed to chronic traumatisation from both gang and domestic violence. This qualitative study was concerned with exploring a narrative pastoral therapy approach to trauma counselling
in schools. It focused specifically on crisis counselling as well as counselling with regard to loss and abuse.
Informed by contextual and feminist theology, an action research model was used in this study. I documented my own developing practice by telling the stories of adults and children struggling against the trauma threatening to overwhelm their lives. / Practical Theology / M. Th.
