R L Breslin

By examining aspects of the family crisis care program in the Newborn Special Care Unit at Yale-New Haven Hospital, an illustration is made of one approach to utilizing the theory of crisis intervention in the development of a family oriented program of preventive intervention. The elements reviewed are adaptable as a framework for initiating such a program or as a reference for assessing programs now under development in other perinatal centers.
