Risk Assessment: A Practitioner's Guide to Predicting Harmful Behaviour - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is aimed at any professional whose work involves predicting the behaviour of others - such as probation officers, social workers, residential care and health and nursing staff.
Risk assessment can usually be carried out by the frontline staff dealing with the client in question, rather than by referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist, particularly where there is no history of mental illness. Such staff almost always have the experience to make a valid assessment, but may lack an understanding of the decision-making process. This book will help them develop their ability to use their existing knowledge for competent assessments.
