The concept of crisis intervention and the various types of services available for dealing with crises affecting the individual or the family have been well set out in the publication from Napsbury Hospital. We would agree with Ratna's statement in that publication that crisis intervention is not only a system of delivering emergency psychiatric care, but also a set of techniques which utilizes a crisis to therapeutic advantage. It was with this in mind that a pilot study was launched in April 1979 for a crisis intervention service in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
