ABC model
Apply the ABC model of crisis intervention to the following case.
A family of six, a middle-aged mother and five children ranging in age from 16 to 23, seeks your help. The father of the family was killed in an accident. His wife and children consider themselves a close family, but they never talk about the accident or their feelings about it. The mother isolates herself from friends and extended family, and several of the children begin drinking too much and engaging in risky behaviors.
