Coping with Violence in Mental Health Care Settings

Coping with and understanding violent and threatening behavior in mental health care settings is a challenging, but integral part of a caregiver's job, and if not handled well, such situations can result in staff and patient injuries. This multiple case study in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, explores de-escalation processes in threatening and violent situations based on patients and staff members
perspectives.
