Infos

This book provides a comprehensive overview of, and best practice evidence-based guidance on, the prevention and management of aggression and violence by patients with mental disorder across a variety of different settings and specialist patient groups. General aspects of violence management are covered, alongside both pharmacological and psychological interventions. In this second edition, first edition chapters have been fully revised and greatly expanded with new chapters on working with violence in children, criminal and youth justice liaison and diversion systems, forensic psychiatry and adult inpatient secure settings, the relationship between violence and mental health inequality in the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, service user involvement in training, and engagement with patients and carers. It will be of use to a wide range of mental health professionals working in community, in-patient and forensic (including prison) settings, as well as clinicians dealing with potentially violent incidents day-to-day.
