The theory and practice of crisis response on the part of healthcare providers has passed through a progression of stages during the past century. First developed within a military context, crisis response consisted of an often harsh treatment approach, even on the part of military health care providers, toward personnel suffering from what was called “shell shock” or, later, “battle fatigue.” In the decades since the understanding of stress-related disorders has moved beyond the battlefield, treatment modalities for those disorders evolved as well. The principles of Psychological First Aid represent the most recent chapter in that evolution. The purpose of this course is to acquaint mental health and other healthcare professionals with the factors affecting stress responses in crisis situations, to introduce the principles of Psychological First Aid and to illustrate how these principles can be applied in a crisis response context.
