Select a chronic or terminal illness (COPD is what I would perfer) not discussed in the text readings and identify the symptoms, underlying pathological physiology, and stages of the illness. Discuss the experience of the patient with this condition and your approach as a crisis manager or counselor. How would you assist the individual, family members and loved ones?
Outline your list of the common or “pat” responses to a person experiencing the crisis of death, or with suicidal intentions. What are the potential unintentional consequences? List your top six therapeutic approaches to the crisis of death, and then to the suicidal individual.
Discuss the instinct for survival, and your analysis of appropriate crisis approaches for suicide prevention in children, teens, adults, and the geriatric population.
