This online course provides carefully
structured theoretical and applies instruction in crisis intervention
skills for use in reclaiming children and youth involved in patterns of
self-defeating behavior. Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) is
applicable with troubled and at risk students in residential and day
treatment, special education, alternative schools, public school
guidance and inclusion programs, and in mental health and juvenile
justice programs. The course provides specific competencies for
using crisis as a teaching and therapeutic opportunity with students
showing six different patterns of self-defeating behavior. This
intervention model is a multi-modal psycho-educational methodology first
described by Fritz Redl and David Wineman in their classic book, The
Aggressive Child. The method was employed in interdisciplinary
clinical training programs directed by graduate faculties of psychology,
special education and social work at the National Institute of Mental
Health. Successful completion of this course allows for further
advanced training and certification in LSCI from the Life Space Crisis
Intervention Institute. |
