Sommario/riassunto |
|
Treating Violence deals with the problem of violence by mental health patients. Studies have established that mental disorders lead to violence in a minority of sufferers. This book critically reviews risk assessment methods and summarises the evidence. It should be read by anybody working in front line mental health services or criminal justice. |
