Skills for preventing aggression

Article Abstract:

Aggressive behaviour towards others is often a behavioural problem associated with people with learning difficulties who live in institutional care. These people have to be taught to control their aggression, as the policy for rehabilitating long-term mental health patients into the community continues in the UK. Aggressive behaviour is often triggered by certain situations. Patients can be taught to deal with these situations more calmly and less aggressively through a programme of exposure and assessment.

It develops Brimblecombe's concept of combining a brief therapy approach with nursing care, applied to a new nurse practitioner post offering mental health services to patients in GP practices.
