The purpose of this article is presenting the Crisis Intervention pattern from Iranian counseling association in the Kermanshah earthquake crisis based on narrative analysis. Method: The research method is narrative research method. In this research, the earthquake in Kermanshah on 21/8/96 is the beginning of the story in the crisis management discussion. Iranian counseling association has been in the region for 6 months. The stories in this study were obtained through interviews with locally based members, of which 45 were deployed in graduate and postgraduate degrees. Results: The crisis management structure of Iranian counseling association was presented at two levels of proprietary performance and public performance. In this process, public performance refers to the level of actors (personality characteristics of consultants) that overwhelms all of the proprietary functions. The proprietary function has three subfolders that are: A) performance reduction, b) performance stability, c) empowerment performance. In each of these functions, the techniques and processes were performed specifically to that function. Actions, unlike themes, are not elements within the narrative, but narratives themselves and the whole narrative is nothing but a sequence of functions. Discussion: The results of disaster intervention interventions not only help to improve the mental health of the survivors, but also contribute positively to the reduction of physical and psychological problems during post-traumatic events.
