Coping With Aggressive Behaviour

Incidents of aggression and physical violence in society are of growing concern to everyone, but those working in the caring professions are particularly at risk from the very people they are trying to help. Self-assessment exercises and case studies challenge the reader to analyse his/her own experiences and preconceptions of when, and to whom, violence occurs. Providing practical guidance as well as a careful consideration of the issues involved, this book will be of interest to all those whose work may sometimes necessitate them being in potentially dangerous situations.
