Critical Incidents: Explaining Reactions
  1. Life-Belief Model (Janoff-Bulman, 1985): critical incidents lead us to become aware of our own mortality and vulnerability, search for meaning ("why me?"), and question our beliefs about ourselves.
    1. Established core beliefs violated by critical incidents = we are invulnerable, safe, and secure; life has meaning and purpose; we are good and respectable people
    2. Human Needs Model (McCann & Pearlman, 1990): critical incidents disrupt people's core beliefs/expectations/assumptions about life, challenge people's basic needs, and lead them to question and change their view of how these basic needs can be met
      1. People have core beliefs, expectations, and assumptions about life. They also have a need for stability, safety, trust, self-esteem, independence, power, and closeness.
      2. Crisis Intervention Theory (Caplan, 1964): Typically, cognitive-emotional aspects in human experience are in balance. Traumatic events create an imbalance and lead to an emotional crisis.
        1. Reactions across 4 stages: impact, withdrawal/confusion, adjustment, reconstruction
        2. Grief and Bereavement Theory (Hindmarch, 2002)
          1. Phase 1: Denial. Characterised by shock, disbelief, sense of unreality. Task = accept reality of loss. Method = facing loss by e.g. rituals, talking.
            1. Phase 2: Pain distress. Characterised by anger, guilt, worthlessness, searching. Task = to experience pain of grief. Method = weeping, raging, talking.
              1. Phase 3: Realisation. Characterised by depression, apathy, fantasy ("if only"). Task = to adjust to life without deceased. Method = resolving practical issues, making sense.
                1. Phase 4: Resolution. Characterised by readiness to engage in new activities and relationships. Task = to reinvest emotional energy in new relationships. Method = looking to new activities and people, exploring new options.
                2. Other theoretical perspectives
                  1. Emotional processing theory (Rachman, 1980)
                    1. Information processing theory (Horowitz et al, 1979)
                      1. Dual representation theory (Brewin et al, 1996)
                        1. Psychosocial theory (Joseph et al, 1997)
