The Application of Narrative Therapy in Crisis Intervention in Colleges and Universities under the Guidance of the CAMS Treatment Framework—A Case of Psychological Crisis Intervention for College Students

This paper addresses issues such as insufficient effectiveness, lack of preventive mechanisms, and stigmatization in university psychological crisis intervention. Based on the requirements of the national mental health action plan, it integrates the CAMS suicide intervention framework with narrative therapy to intervene in a college student with identity disorder and suicide risk. CAMS constructs an integrated network of collaboration both within and outside the campus through standardized assessments, simultaneously mitigating immediate risks and enhancing emotional regulation abilities. Narrative therapy, on the other hand, reconstructs life narratives through external dialogue, breaking down identity dilemmas and self-stigmatization. Together, they achieve dual goals of risk management and psychological empowerment: in the short term, precisely reducing suicide risk, and in the long term, promoting cognitive growth through narrative reconstruction. The case demonstrates that this method can provide a scientific path for universities to overcome the intervention bottleneck of “emphasizing emergency response over development”.
