Self-Harm and Violence: Towards Best Practice in Managing Risk in Mental Health Services

Self-harm and Violence: Towards Best Practices in Managing Risk in Mental Health Services fills an important gap in the literature, presenting the voice of service users, summarizing the latest research about the risk of harm to self or others, and reviewing the strength of evidence for interventions used to prevent or reduce risk and harm on inpatient psychiatric units. This scholarly, yet highly accessible book will appeal to academics who are interested in studying issues related to harm to self or others, nursing staff who manage risk on a day-to-day basis, and educators who will welcome the compilation of information in one source.
