13 MAY 2020 B.A. PART II (H) PAPER III,UNIT III (COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY) A health intervention is an act performed for, with or on behalf of a person or population whose purpose is to assess, improve, maintain, promote or modify health, functioning or health conditions. Four Popular Types of Interventions Simple intervention. Classical intervention. Family system intervention. Crisis intervention.
13 MAY 2020 B.A. PART II (H) PAPER III,UNIT III (COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY) 1. Simple intervention Rather than staging a huge gathering of people to confront your loved one, sometimes a single family member facing the addicted person, asking them to stop using drugs and begin a comprehensive addiction treatment program, is all it takes to bring about change. With or without a professional interventionist present to assist, this one-on- one intervention can be very effective. 2. Classical intervention A classical intervention begins with a planning session that includes everyone except the addicted person.
13 MAY 2020 B.A. PART II (H) PAPER III,UNIT III (COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY) This type of intervention often includes counsel and education for all family members and participants. In this type of intervention, family members are able to discuss their part before the official intervention begins. A counselor or interventionist can help prepare every participant in how to handle all potential outcomes to the intervention. This type of intervention often offers support to both the addicted person and the family members of that person. 3. Family system intervention This type of intervention is based on family systems theory and treatment. When multiple people in a family struggle with an addiction, co-dependence or conflict, this approach can help treat both the addiction and the family bonds.
13 MAY 2020 B.A. PART II (H) PAPER III,UNIT III (COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY) Family members often continue beyond the initial intervention, and all family members are encouraged to participate in family counseling and coaching. The addicted person benefits from a changed family experience and greater motivation to recover once everyone gets needed support. 4. Crisis intervention Sometimes a crisis occurs in an addicted person s life that makes it clear to them and everyone else that rehab is necessary. Rather than planning out an intervention, situations in which the addicted person has become a danger to himself or those around him can turn into impromptu interventions. The immediate objective will be to stabilize the situation and optimize safety. Often, a little tough love is needed in these situations in order to save a life. Rehabilitation can quickly follow.
