TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - New approaches to crisis intervention JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Motto, J. A. SP - 173 EP - 184 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - Constant efforts to improve crisis services have led to many innovative programs. Some have proven their feasibility and become established procedures. Others are now in a developing stage and still others represent new approaches. A survey of 50 suicide prevention and crisis services around the world provides evidence of a trend toward a broadening range of services, a more active case-finding approach, greater visibility, increased integration into the community care system, and creative leadership by newer and smaller centers as well as the well-established ones. This is being accomplished without relinquishing the traditional respect for anonymity, ever-present availability, and a nonjudgmental regard for each person's need.
