This paper examines the concept of crisis as a clinical frame of reference for psychotherapeutic intervention. After a theoretical discussion of the concept, clinical material is presented and then analyzed within the frame of reference. Implications are drawn both in terms of material itself and for casework programs. Why do applicants for casework service come to agencies when they do? What circumstances or events in the lives of people lead them to seek help at certain times and not at others? Casework practitioners and marriage
