Assumptions of crisis theory and a temporal model of crisis intervention Stephen M. Auerbach<br> Unraveling the Gordian Knot in life change inquiry: a critical examination of crisis, stress, and transitiional frameworks for prevention Robert D. Felner, Richard T. Rowlinson, and Lisa Terre<br> Stressful life events and young children's school adjustment Emory L. Cowen and A.

Auerbach and Anthony Spirito<br> Effects of the Holocaust on survivors and their families Norman Goldwasser.

Review: "Among the areas of major concern to mental health professionals, crisis intervention is unique in that it focuses on treating psychological problems resulting from exposure to highly stressful events in otherwise 'normally' functioning individuals. ...crisis as a theoretical construct is still in the formative stages. As empirical data accumulate, widely held clinically based assumptions regarding the effects of crisis, and the determinants of whether a given event is perceived as a crisis-level stressor, and the effectiveness with which it is coped, will need to be modified." -- p. 1.
