Analysis of Theory Worksheet

Name of theory Crisis Theory
Author or founder Gerald Caplan and Erich Lindemann
The historical origin of the theory Crisis Theory emerged in the 1940s–1960s following World War II’s aftermath, particularly with Caplan’s work on mental health in the community and short-term care of persons in crisis: Analysis of Theory Worksheet.
Basic assumptions Individuals react in crisis when their usual coping mode becomes overwhelmed by an endangering event.

Unless some intervention ensues shortly, imbalances can produce breakdown or maladaptive behavior.
Underlying assumptions Everyone is prone to crisis; timely and systematic intervention can create balance.

An individual’s response to a situation depends on perception, support, and pre-existing coping ability.
Key concepts Dangerous event, vulnerable situation, precipitating factor, active state of crisis, reintegration or resolution of crisis, coping skills, support networks.
Foci/unit of analysis The individual within the context of their immediate surroundings and crisis.
Philosophical or conceptual framework Founded on humanistic and systems theory, it emphasizes person-in-environment and time-limited, goal-focused intervention.
Strengths of theory It offers a logical method of short-term intervention, is useful during emergencies or short-term psychosocial stress, and can be used in many settings, from residential care, medical care, schools, and community service.
Limitations of Theory It is not meant to treat long-standing or long-term issues

It will not necessarily address systemic causes or complex trauma other than by integrating other theories.
Common criticisms Moderation toward short-term goals may not effectively address the current deeper cores of trauma or societal inequality unless added theories are used.
When and with whom it would be appropriate to use the theory/model Appropriate for individuals with acute trauma or stress, such as sudden disruptions of life like those experienced by children like Ella.
Consistency of theory/model with social work principles Theory is very consistent, including a focus on empowerment, person-in-environment, timely intervention, and restoration of functioning.
Identification of goodness of fit with ethical principles It aligns with social work ethics of dignity, self-determination, and the right to safety and intervention during distress.
Ways in which theory/model informs research methods Informs research on intervention, crisis response evaluations, and short-term therapy outcomes.

Provides a framework for studying individual recovery and system response.
Implications for social work practice It promotes crisis intervention, risk assessment, and stabilization.

It encourages time-sensitive and culture-competent care and is best suited for young individuals in residential treatment, such as Ella.

Question 

Pls Note:

  • Use the same case study < Ella Schultz > used in order#60527. Thank You.

*It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event, (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase.

There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory.
