A front-line fire fighting strategy that works!

Wood and Long describe a time-tested technique for helping troubled and troubling children and youth who are in crisis in their homes, schools, and communities. Life Space Crisis Intervention is a refreshing alternative to traditional techniques and provides effective alternatives to punishment. The authors describe how to use LSCI to use crisis as an opportunity for insight and behavior change. The book is most effective in combination with the five-day training program available through the Institute of Psychoeducational Training in Hagerstown, MD.
