Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. The front flyleaf has a small signature, and there is one library stamp on the title page, but there are no other marks or wear. The orange covers are fresh, showing minor wear at tips and corners. A very nice copy. Synopsis: This book reviews the research on assaultive incidents within psychiatric institutions, and describes a staff training course designed to reduce the problem. The premise is that violent acts are often the outcome of poor staff-patient interactions, rather than patient pathology per se. Part I discusses the etiology of institutional violence in various settings, both psychiatric and correctional; reviews what is known about the characteristics of perpetrators, victims and assault-prone environments, and critically evaluates the various methods in use for dealing with the problem. Part II describes the course developed by the authors, which has been in operation at the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre for many years. Seller Inventory # 004902
