Violence in Psychiatry Research Group), offering an integrative
context for understanding patient aggression and identifying areas
where research is lacking. Chapters review the latest theories of
violence, proven prevention strategies, and examples of positive
organizational change. Practical highlights include: Assessing and
measuring risk: self-versus other-reporting scales; how the ward
environment can contribute to violence? pharmaceutical
interventions; training issues and course development in violence
management; professional coping after patient attacks; and
developing a non-violent culture at the institutional level.
Throughout, the material is illustrated liberally with graphs and
clinical case examples, and coverage bridges the patient-rights and
zero-tolerance ends of the spectrum. Therapists, nurses, social
workers, and counselors in hospitals and other inpatient and
community facilities will find Violence in Mental Health Settings a
source of vital insights and ideas for future policy. Regardless of
one's setting or specialty, the authors share a critical aim with
their readers: a safer and more humane experience.
