Summary
Maintaining Control provides a unique introductory guide to the effective management of violence and aggression within the clinical environment. It explores all facets of the subject and explains simple, but highly effective, strategies for use in and out of the working environment. This new book enables the reader to understand both the principles and the appropriate techniques, regardless of academic or physical ability. It approaches the subject matter from a unique personal safety perspective, the main priority being the safety of the client and of the practitioner, no matter what the setting or situation. Issues of practical management are covered, alongwith a fully illustrated guide to Breakaway Techniques and Non-Aversive Physical Interventions. The practical techniques, along with the Management and Personal Safety principles, make Maintaining Control invaluable to any face to face Service Provider, including those working outside of the clinical setting
