Professional care providers can learn ways to
avoid one of the most difficult and often
tragic problems to occur in care settings When

another resident. Many of these episodes are

or verbally harmful manner is the key to
prevention and mitigation. This book provides
the first care standard for the field, presenting
practical tools and instruction on how to
identify contributing factors, causes, unmet
needs, and triggers that commonly lead to
serious distress or injury, sometimes even
death.Emphasizing compassionate, person-directed
care practices, author Eilon Caspi describes
numerous psychosocial strategies to use to
prevent and de-escalate situations prior to,
during, and after harmful resident-to-resident
interactions. Included are dozens of real-life
examples illustrating what does and does not work
in addressing these episodes.Based on extensive
