Assignment 1 Co-Occurring Disorders and Crisis Intervention In Chapter 11, James and Gilliland (2013) use a client, Gordon, to demonstrate various aspects of his treatment. In the assessment phase, counselors consider Gordon's self-motivation for change, and determine that confrontation is needed to give impetus to Gordon's treatment. This is a slightly different aspect of crisis theory. Explain your reactions to the chapter's treatment of Gordon's case, and offer at least three points of intervention that you strongly agree with and give reasons why. Use your James and Gilliland text to complete the following: Read Chapter 11, "Chemical Dependency: The Crisis of Addiction," pages 349–413. James, R. K., & Gilliland, B. E. (2013). Crisis intervention strategies (7th ed.). Belmont, CA: Cengage Learning. Assignment 2 Crisis Intervention with Clients Diagnosed with Mental Illness Chapter 5 of the James and Gilliland text describes a crisis intervention team (CIT) approach to dealing with crises of the mentally ill, many of whom are homeless or have entered unstable living situations since the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. The act brought changes that released many mentally ill people back into the community. Analyze the tools and resources that a CIT approach could offer in your own community if you were developing these resources. Analyze the benefits and potential obstacles of this approach if you were the ambassador to advocate locally for the concept. Support your choices with reference to the professional literature.
