Читать книгу Counseling Practice During Phases of a Pandemic Virus - Mark A. Stebnicki - Страница 28

The pandemic risk and resiliency continuum (PRRC) theoretical model can be used for identification, early intervention, prevention, and preparation for therapeutic interventions with individuals and groups during phases of a pandemic virus. The model has practical applications within the psychology, counseling, disaster mental health, and allied helping professions. The PRRC model has been reviewed and critiqued by a panel of eight experts in disaster mental health response, epidemiology, medical and psychosocial aspects of illness and disability, and applied behavior science. A primary supposition is that individuals exhibit a range of mental, behavioral, and psychosocial responses and adaptations during pandemic disasters on a continuum from excellent to poor resiliency and from low to extreme risk. The PRRC model is divided into two separate models—risk and resiliency—measured on a continuum. Five-level scales of risk and resiliency are used, and each level encompasses the categories of mental, behavioral, psychosocial, and medical/physical health.
