Herausforderndes Verhalten bei Menschen mit psychischen Störungen: Praxisbuch für Pflege- und Gesundheitsberufe, 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Bo Hejlskov Elvén, Sophie Louise Abild McFarlane

Clients in psychiatric care may exhibit behaviors that can challenge team members, such as agitated, anxious, disoriented, violent, manipulative, self-harming, and suicidal threatening behavior. Reacting appropriately to these behaviours, de-escalating and finding a needs-oriented solution is difficult professionally and humanly. What solutions can be feasible and practicable in these challenging situations are demonstrated by veteran psychologist Bo Hejlskov Eléven and psychiatry-experienced Sophie Abild McFarlane. You are presenting a practice manual that

• Provides explanatory approaches to understand challenging behaviors in psychiatry
• offers action-guiding principles to skilfully reflect yourself, the situation and the client
• provides a “tool box” with behavioural/action instructions to be able to deal with challenging behaviors in a friendly, gentle and effective way.

The authors show numerous examples and ways in which carers can create a positive milieu and a pleasant and safe environment for people with mental health problems. They show how carers can have a calming effect on people with mental health problems and thus contribute to a positively changed working and treatment atmosphere.

The 2nd Edition has been revised and supplemented by

• needs and stress tolerance oriented explanatory models on challenging behaviors (NDB, PLST) and their importance in mental illness
• Dealing with challenging behaviour in the recovery-oriented tide model.
• A serene encounter of challenging behaviour with humour and cheerfulness.
• a conversation about challenging behavior between a psychiatric experienced and a caregiver.
