title: [Basic principles of crisis intervention in children and adolescents].
abstract: Practical experience shows that crises in children and young people in many cases appear as "speechlessness", which is linked with markedly passive behaviour and a feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness. The capacity for "self-efficacy" and the belief in this, are weakly developed or have been lost. The three central basic principles of therapeutic crisis intervention "active therapeutic relationship", "assuming auxiliary ego functions" and "resource-oriented approach" are portrayed and explained on the basis of the case vignette of a 16-year-old girl. In this, attention is focussed upon the basic general and treatment conditions at the "neuhland" establishment.
