The authors discuss the value of applying psychoanalytic concepts to crisis intervention. Using clinical vignettes, they demonstrate when the various therapeutic techniques as outlined by Bibring can and should be used. These include abreaction, manipulation, clarification, and interpretation. They conclude that such an approach can not only help resolve crises more effectively, but can assist the receptive, transference-ready patient to learn more useful and adaptive modes of coping.
