In this period, where several crises are raging in our society—climate crisis, housing crisis, wars, humanitarian crises, etc.—psychosocial, psychopathological, and psychotraumatic crises inevitably emerge, all around us. In these conditions, the practitioner must face multiple and highly varied crisis situations.

The book offers an analysis of crisis and crisis intervention from different perspectives. It highlights the satellite components of the crisis that make it up or revolve around it, influencing it in one way or another.

This third edition marks several changes. Among them, the most important is undoubtedly the addition of a complete chapter on mental health, mental disorders, and personality disorders. This new chapter is based on the official references of the DSM-5-TR©. Several additions and significant updates have also been made to the content of the eight chapters. The main changes include: the needs of users and those of the practitioner; types of behavior; stress and how to better manage it; the different types of crises and suicidal crises, up to the final assessment; the merging of the chapters on observation and perception; the phases of memorization and types of memory; the process of perception; communication and culture; signs and gestures in virtual communication and how to conduct an interview; post-crisis and models for problem-solving, situation management, and the use of force.
