Topic: An accurate assessment is essential for effective   intervention: The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention.
It is often said that Psychology is the science of understanding human   behavior, and Counseling is the art of helping others understand their   behavior. A person’s response to a crisis situation is idiosyncratic—not all   people have the same response. The response is unique to the individual with   how they perceived their crisis situation. Two sisters can have completely   different responses to the loss of a brother in active duty while completing   a tour in a combat zone. It is the therapist’s responsibility to try to see   the crisis situation from the client’s perspective. Although this can be   challenging, the success of such a goal is largely influenced by an effective   assessment. The ABC Model (Kanel, 2015) identifies 3 areas of assessment that   are essential when completing an initial interview and providing ongoing   treatment/interventions. What are these 3 categories? Define each category.   Which category is the most important? You can only pick 1 and you must   support your argument with professional sources.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
