In this paper, I will explain Roberts' Seven–Stage Crisis Intervention model and how the model exemplifies an effective, coordinated community response. Then, I will discuss the strengths and limitations of Roberts' Seven–Stage Crisis Intervention model.
The Seven-Stage Crisis Intervention Model of Albert Roberts consists of seven stages. Stage I is to perform a psychosocial and lethality assessment, stage II is to establish rapport, and stage III is to identify the crisis and the major problems that lead to the crisis. The nest step is stage IV, which consist of exploring and dealing with emotions and feelings, Stage V requires generating coping strategies and exploring alternatives; while as, stage VI requires the implementation of an action …show more content…
As a result, the model rather provides a guideline that allows for a flexible implementation of the stages, which is one of the strengths of Roberts' Seven–Stage Crisis Intervention model. Besides, Robert’s model provides a stable structure and references to assess a victim quickly in a systematic manner, without neglecting the scope of lethality, which is the most import measurement in any crisis. Meanwhile, the limitations of Robert’s model are the coping strategies that require advancement and additional development of strategies to enhance the design. Another limitation unfolds in the application of the model to all crises encountered, especially to people with serious psychiatric problems like bipolar disease, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, and severe depression as these types of people require professional help and sometimes hospital admission. Another limitation I can think of is the follow-up stage, when the victim is unable to attend follow-up sessions either due to repetitive abuse, relapse, or situation deterioration (victims of domestic violence and threatening of children; victims of forced prostitution and human trafficking, etc.)
Roberts’ seven-stage model provides a staged outline that accumulates years of experience and research and provides an excellent tool to assess victims of a crisis. On an emergency basis, Robert’s model provides an excellent tool to evaluate and respond to victims’ needs, especially during a crisis. Humans are different, and each responds to emergencies and stressors differently; thus, it is impossible to have a mold that fits all or for that matter a model that applies to
