Psychosoziale Notfallversorgung (PSNV) - Praxisbuch Krisenintervention

This practical book is a guide for anyone who encounters people in an acute crisis following an emergency or accident. Following a standardized scheme, it provides practical advice for each specific emergency situation, such as delivering a death message, suicide, the death of children, and evacuation. It addresses pupils in crisis situations at schools and employees in major emergencies, detailing what to do in advance, how those affected may react, and what caregivers should do or avoid. Relevant specialist knowledge is included, along with formulation aids and specific practical tips that offer points of reference and support in each situation.

For special situations and challenges, such as accompanying children and young people, feelings of guilt in those affected, bystanders, language barriers, and intoxicated victims, extensive information is provided. All necessary information for crisis intervention can be found quickly. Thanks to its particularly handy format, the practical book fits into any emergency jacket or bag, making it an indispensable guide for the daily practice of those working in psychosocial emergency care.

The book also provides basic communication and action skills, such as the PSNV 3 set, for support after accidents and during acute crises. It is therefore suitable as a companion book for training programs in psychosocial emergency care. The target group for this practical book includes crisis intervention services and teams, PSNV officers, emergency counselors, aftercare teams, as well as doctors, emergency service employees, police, fire brigade members, and members of rescue teams and emergency units, including mountain, air, and water rescue. Hospital chaplains, school psychologists, psychosocial counseling centers, medical and nursing staff, undertakers, teachers, educators, and social workers can also benefit from the information in their work.
