Here is the case study I picked it is the case study on Jill:
Jill is a 27-year-old nurse who has come to you for help. She is working to put her husband through medical school. She is complaining about being unassertive. She sits back very uneasily in the chair. When she moves, she sometimes grimaces in pain. She loves her husband and wants to please him but there is nothing she can do to make him happy anymore
Due to her lack of sexual responsiveness, her husband sometimes gets extremely angry and does things to her. Jill is afraid that he will find out that she is here today for help.

Introduction
The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a nursing method used to provide an immediate
intervention to mentally and emotionally disturbed patients. It involves conducting a brief mental
interview with an emotionally disturbed patient who is undergoing depression and emotional
change. The patient who is subjected to the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention usually faces
psychological stress leading to a decrease in their functional level. Such events that lead to
psychological, emotional, mental and functional depression are referred to as precipitating
events. The events in most case happen within a grace period of four weeks and leave the victim
in a dilemma, disturbed with an unsettled mind on how to manage the situation.
The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a problem-focused approach that aims to
identify the cognition of the patients in relation to the precipitating event. To help the patient, the
model uses nursing intervention measures to alter the precipitating event so as to decrease the
adverse impacts of the emotional feelings that the patient finds unmanageable. It identifies the
critical steps that Jill can take when trying to find solutions to certain life challenges.
Developing rapport and trust
At this stage, a rapport is developed between Jill and the counselor to create a mutual
understanding and comfort during the crisis intervention period. The trust created at this stage
will help in creating a solid foundation eated for the interviewplanned. Besides, it will make Jill
free to share her personal feelings, attitude, and perceptions with the interviewer so as to find an
amicable solution (Kanel, 2015). The first action will be to formulate the basic skills that are
required to develop and maintain a rapport with Jill taking into consideration Jill’s current
situation. This will call for a careful study of Jill's body language to ascertain her willingness to
take part in the interview and then identifying the best rapport that suits her.
