The book addresses helping people who are coping with the effects of a severe real-life event. The premise of the book is that the mental health profession should be a primary source of assistance for these persons. Pertinent topics include discussions of normal reactions for a person under the circumstances of a real-life problem, the use and misuse of theory in the helping process, treatment guidelines for helping the individual, and potential problems to avoid in the treatment process. A distinction is made between two types of real-life problems: temporary and lasting. Temporary real-life problems refer to a person caught in an ongoing situation that eventually may be resolved. A lasting real-life problem refers to a past, discrete event that has altered a person's life permanently. The book concludes with a discussion of research needs in the area. Specific questiona are posed to stimulate further research on real-life problems.
