Here is an example summary of this reading selection:

The article offers a simple rule, the “Ring Theory,” to help people navigate interacting with people in crisis: Picture the person in crisis as at the center of a series of concentric circles. Then picture that person’s family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and oneself in outer circles, with each person’s ring depending on how close he or she is to the person in the center. People should complain only to people in larger rings (that is, less closely related to the crisis) and provide only words of comfort and support to people in smaller rings.

Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
