| Abstract | "Client violence is not inevitable, even for those who work in high-risk environments. With proper planning and training, social workers can increase their safety, deescalate potentially violent situations, and respond effectively to violent acts. This book is the ultimate resource for social workers concerned with safety. Using an ecological approach, the author provides strategies for predicting violence, establishing a rapport with aggressive and violent clients, and treating violent clients through various interventions"-- Provided by publisher. |
