Abstract: University emergencies not only directly harm the personal safety of university students, but also cause huge mental wound. If not treated timely and effectively, it would affect their future life and health, thus form a psychological crisis. This paper is based on the theory of life cycle crisis, and discusses the problems existing in students' psychological crisis intervention in university emergencies from the perspective of time series. The problems include failure of warning and prevention before crisis, passive intervention, single subject of intervention and neglected intervention of the relevant personnel around individuals in crisis, and lack of intervention after the crisis. So the effective implementation of the psychological crisis intervention for university students is to refine and improve the above-mentioned steps.
