This paper describes the author's therapeutic team's general rules for crisis intervention that have been built up by gaining experience in therapy and crisis intervention for ‘difficult cases to treat’. It discusses how the author's therapeutic team actually intervenes in the crisis, building a relationship as quickly as possible with the patient and/or family, and providing follow‐up treatment with the family and others involved in the crisis. The paper then outlines recent trends in Japanese crisis intervention in comparison with the Western system of psychiatric emergency services. Finally, the paper concludes the necessity of establishing comprehensive and on‐going community‐care in order for a psychiatric emergency system to become successful in Japan.
