W W W Krisis Intervention

Dr. Cosenza’s fifth book presents startling spiritual keys to identifying the true spiritual sources of all crises in individuals, groups, communities and countries. His timely biblical research study of the Greek word, krisis and its derivatives, carefully unfolds significant spiritual types of crises (krisis), ten subtypes, and their effective solutions. In w.w.w.krisis/intervention, Dr. Cosenza rigorously contends that the underlying answers to all crises are found mainly in the spiritual realm. Systematically, he explores three salient biblical ideas: (1) our spiritual understanding of what and who we worship, (2) our spiritual consciousness of the Word of God (“Word-ship”), and (3) our true spiritual sense of worthiness (“worth-ship”). Dr. Cosenza’s provocative research on krisis intervention offers a spiritually balanced and harmonizing approach to worldly conceptions and deceptions of crises.

Dr. Cosenza’s sixth book, The Christ CONFIDANT MINDSET: Spiritual Consciousness of True Worship, True Word, True Worth, offers a unique pespective on how to be a loving and compassionate confidant with the spiritual mind of Christ. After years of working with individuals and families across spiritual beliefs, levels and religions, Dr. Cosenza has discovered the significance of “mindset” in upholding true and proven values and principles for success in work and love. By exploring three subsets of the Christ Coinfidant Mindset, Dr. Cosenza encourages and enlarges our awareness of what and how we worship in truth. The characteristics and role of the Christ Confidant are provided that inspire compassion and kindness toward others in need. He unfolds poignant principles from the Bible that highlight the importance of God’s Word in bringing the wisdom and consciousness of God’s presence into every situation of need. Spiritual realities concerning worth and value unfold confidence of thought and a precision of action in helping, counseling and loving oneself and others.

We live in a world of oblivion, a world of nothingness. Most of us are aware of “human consciousness” that includes an awareness of material and personal conditions and crises. Dr. Cosenza exposes the source and dimensions this false reality that pervades our lives. He is referring to “spiritual oblivion”, a forgetfulness or unawareness of one’s true inherent spiritual consciousness. There is a spiritual world and a material world. Neither world collides or can be inhabited at the same time. One world, the spiritual, is real; the other is material, is untrue and flawed. We cannot live in both levels of consciousness. True spiritual consciousness began with God who created man in His own image, which is Spirit. There are material pressures that can cause us to remain in spiritual oblivion. To escape the unrealities of oblivion, God alone provides ways to grow in consciousness and to reclaim the consciousness we had since He first created us. In his seventh book, Escaping Spiritual Oblivion: Reclaiming True Consciousness, Dr. Cosenza reveal truths of spiritual consciousness, the spiritual values that help us to maintain this consciousness and the false dimensions of spiritual oblivion that threaten to keep us from a life more abundant. Ten specific subtypes of oblivion are presented and evaluated in line with the scriptures. Gently and systematically, Dr. Cosenza guides us back to the real world of spirituality that is opposite what we know to be material or even spiritual-like. Reclaiming a higher place of consciousness enables us to renew our love and care of Almighty God and the values He cherishes for us.

Since the first edition was published in 1988, the role of crisis intervention and prevention has become central to mental health professionals working in the schools. Disasters such as hurricane Katrina, terrorist attacks both in this country and around the world, and various school shootings have greatly increased school crisis research and policy development. This book is designed for an introductory graduate course taken by students in school psychology, school counseling, and school social work. Section I provides a crisis response overview, section II deals with crises for children and adolescents and section III covers crises that manifest in adolescence. Discussions of the 16 most prevalent types of crises are covered in sections II and III and include their characteristics, causes, interventions, and preventive programs. All chapters will be updated, six heavily revised or totally rewritten by new authors, and two new chapters (chapters 8 & 19) have been added.

A comprehensive guide to short-term therapy, this well-known reference presents proven methods for providing clear, concise psychiatric instruction to patients overwhelmed by crisis situations. The expanded eighth edition includes chapters on post-traumatic stress disorder and legal and ethical issues in psychotherapy.
