Topic: A crisis can be a dangerous situation that provides an opportunity for growth.

Identifying an opportunity for growth in the midst of a crisis can be a challenge for both the person in the crisis and the professional providing therapeutic services. However, the treatment provider has the privilege and responsibility to intervene and influence the schemata of the person in the identified crisis. Identify a developmental, situational, or subjective (existential) crisis, the potential dangers (described in the literature), the opportunity for growth (types: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, volitional), and the common treatment interventions (identified in the literature) that are used to intervene with said crisis.
