The only resource available that summarizes a variety of approaches to assaultive behavior, this useful text aids professionals who work with assaultive youths by providing concrete techniques that may help to reduce, and when necessary, control violent behavior. Experts also explore systematic methods for responding to an assault in progress so that potential harm to all parties is mitigated and a working relationship with the assaultive youth is maintained. Contributors provide a continuum of intervention procedures, including prevention techniques, verbal and nonverbal strategies, and the use of mechanical restraints. The valuable techniques offered here do not require a great deal of training, nor do they depend a great deal upon one's theoretical orientation.
