Intended for clinicians, healthcare administrators, law enforcement professionals, and educators, this book/CD-ROM offers a cross-disciplinary approach to preventing and controlling violence in the healthcare workplace, with an emphasis on social conditions that cause violence in communities and healthcare settings, collaboration among various disciplines and organizations, and legal and policy approaches. The first section briefly summarizes factors contributing to violence and reviews definitions, classifications, and terminology. The second section is divided into subsections on issues, such as the role of organizational culture and management style in triggering workplace violence, and suggestions for prevention, incident control, and responding to violence, with chapters on staff training, reducing episodes of violence in acute psychiatric units, and the role of hospital security in prevention. The section on social policy discusses ethical, legal, and sociocultural issues in workplace violence prevention. Appendixes present sample policies and a patient protection plan, and the CD-ROM contains more sample protocols, policies, guidelines, and slide presentations. Privitera teaches psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
