Manage of Aggressive and Violent Behavior |
||||||||
|
Aggressive,
self-injurious, suicidal, and destructive behavior by residents of
psychiatric hospitals, as well as by mentally disabled clients living
in the community, is a common problem with unfortunate consequences for
consumers, clinicians and families. In this workshop, participants will
learn about the prevalence of aggressive behavior among the mentally
ill as well as legal mandates that require the implementation of
effective, non- aversive treatment alternatives to seclusion and
physical or chemical restraint. Behavioral analysis and therapy
strategies are described, demonstrated and role-played with real-life
examples. Methods will be delineated to promote generalization and
maintenance of prosocial behavior as well as fidelity of implementation
of behavior analysis and therapy. Participants and their home agencies
will learn how to comply with guidelines of the American
Psychiatric Association, court mandates, and the requirements of the Civil Rights of the Institutionalized Persons Act.
