The principles of practice in psychiatric care are described with the intent to manage behavioural challenges and create a healthy workspace and treatment area. The author discusses methods and approaches of managing negative behaviour of both patients and staff, to allow for the psychiatric treatment to function most effectively.
Patients in psychiatric care can behave in ways that can be alarming for staff, and difficult to respond to. The authors of this practical and imaginative book explain why patients may behave in these ways, and offer a toolkit of ways to respond effectively and kindly. With many everyday examples of how to keep the space positive and safe, and patients calm, this book could transform your working life.
