Description
How dangerous is the client? Is there a likelihood of physical assault on another person? There are often complex issues and circumstances that make a child or teen (and adult) "act out" or become moody. Effective treatment comes from appropriate assessments of client personality, issues, and circumstances that lead to theoretical clarity that subsequently imply treatment approaches and interventions. The training will help clinicians differentiate among
• Individuals with challenging behaviors, that however, are relatively simple and benign to deal with (low potential for aggression and/or violence)
• Individuals with more problematic episodic and/or more intense behaviors (moderate potential for aggression and/or violence)
• Individuals with high potential for aggression and/or violence
