Crisis intervention is a type of brief therapy that is more directive than typical psychotherapy or counseling.It focuses on problem solving and involves only the problem created by the crisis.The goal of crisis intervention is to create stability for the person involved in the crisis while promoting self-reliance.The other options do not properly reassure the patient and build trust.
