Abstract:

While the Satir Model has been applied in the area of crisis preparation and critical incident stress debriefings over the past 20 years, little, if anything, has been published on this topic. Since current thinking in the area of crisis debriefings emphasizes accessing client resiliency and teaching coping skills, the Satir Model is especially useful since it is a health-oriented approach. Also, the actual methods used to teach the theory involve participants at multiple levels so that they fully engage students. In addition, since the various tools are free of professional jargon, they are easily accessible to individuals at all educational levels.

Here the author describes the application of Satir's tool, The Wheel of Resources (Satir, 1982) as the centerpiece of a brief psycho-educational intervention aimed at preparing technical workers assigned to help with reconstruction efforts in New Orleans following the devastating effects of Katrina.
