abstract="The SPCS brought 8 students to the center for a ten week period of training in crisis intervention (June 22 - August 28, 1970). The students were chosen from a variety of disciplines and included: graduate students in nursing (1), social welfare (1), and medicine (1 half time), a student about to enter graduate school in social welfare (1), a conscientious objector, and a seminarian (1), Each was paid $1,000 for full-time attendance.   The first week of the program was devoted to orientation and training in telephone counseling at a suicide prevention and crisis service. For the remaining nine weeks, the interns were responsible for daytime coverage of the SPCS telephone service (7:30 am to 5 pm plus 1/3 of the coverage from 5 pm - 9 pm.). During these nine weeks several weekly seminars were organized: one on suicidology, one on telephone training, a case conference, an interpersonal process group, and a seminar in which a new topic was discussed each week, a field visit made, or visitors from other agencies interviewed. In addition, each intern was expected to engage in a project (research or clinical) and see several clients at the center in individual face-to-face therapy. Each intern was assigned a staff member as supervisor for telephone therapy and another as supervisor for face-to-face therapy...   Copyright 1970 Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service, Buffalo, N.
