Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, the international community has tried to insulate, limit, and resolve local conflicts. The generally poor success record has led some to conclude that multilateral organizations have failed in dealing with international conflicts, while others have argued that governments have not used these organizations effectively. Not enough thought, however, has been given to the contributions that can be made to conflict management and resolution through the use of diplomatic, political, military, and economic intervention by multilateral organizations, by unilateral action of national states, and by efforts of states acting in informal concert. This book evaluates the means that have been used to influence the course of six recent disputes, considering the costs and benefits in each case. In a broader context, it examines the relationship of local conflict to international security and considers the dilemma of providing security to small states without compromising their independence. Finally, it assesses the extent to which local wars tend to escalate and threaten the global security system.

Book excerpt: Psychological Crisis Intervention: The SAFER-R Model is designed to provide the reader with a simple set of guidelines for the provision of psychological first aid (PFA). The model of psychological first aid (PFA) for individuals presented in this volume is the SAFER-R model developed by the authors. Arguably it is the most widely used tactical model of crisis intervention in the world with roughly 1 million individuals trained in its operational and derivative guidelines. This model of PFA is not a therapy model nor a substitute for therapy. Rather it is designed to help crisis interventionists stabile and mitigate acute crisis reactions in individuals, as opposed to groups. Guidelines for triage and referrals are also provided. Before plunging into the step-by-step guidelines, a brief history and terminological framework is provided. Lastly, recommendations for addressing specific psychological challenges (suicidal ideation, resistance to seeking professional psychological support, and depression) are provided.

Download or read book De Escalating Violence in Healthcare written by S. E. McKnight and published by Nursing Knowledge. This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a comprehensive guidebook of therapeutic de-escalation techniques for nurses and other healthcare professionals to improve safety in healthcare facilities. Readers will explore the concepts of aggression (including risk factors), de-escalation, and therapeutic communication. They will also learn how to perform mental status assessments, manage and even prevent aggressive behavior, and practice conflict resolution, and--when faced with individuals with depressive disorders, suicidal ideation, and/or self-injurious behavior (SIB)--engage in crisis intervention. Specific therapeutic interventions for difficult behavioral issues associated with schizophrenia, dementia, bipolar disorder, cognitive impairment, anxiety and panic disorders are also covered, as are stress-management techniques to help patients cope, tips for creating a caring and healing environment to stop violence before it starts, and a framework for building a healthcare violence prevention program. Nursing students and healthcare professionals of all educational levels will find this book to be immensely valuable. De-escalation is one of the most valuable skills a healthcare worker can possess. Indeed, all healthcare workers need this vital skill to help ensure their safety in the healthcare environment. It's not uncommon for healthcare professionals to encounter an agitated or aggressive person. How that healthcare worker responds will dictate whether the situation is defused or escalated--perhaps even resulting in physical violence. The goal of this book is to ensure the result is the former--to prevent healthcare violence, and to foster a safe healthcare workplace that benefits all and promotes peace and safety for everyone"--

Download or read book Riot Woman written by Eleanor C. Whitney and published by Microcosm Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up immersed in the feminist, DIY values of punk, Riot Grrrl, and zine culture of the 1990s and early 2000s gave Eleanor Whitney, like so many other young people who gravitate towards activism and musical subcultures, a sense of power, confidence, community, and social responsibility. As she grew into adulthood she struggled to stay true to those values, and with the gaps left by her punk rock education. This insightful, deeply personal history of early-2000s subcultures lovingly explores the difficulty of applying feminist values to real-life dilemmas, and embrace an evolving political and personal consciousness. Whitney traces the sometimes painful clash between her feminist values and everyday, adult realities — and anyone who has worked to integrate their political ideals into their daily life will resonate with the histories and analysis on these pages, such as engaging in anti-domestic violence advocacy while feeling trapped in an unhealthy relationship, envisioning a unified "girl utopia" while lacking racial consciousness, or espousing body positivity while feeling ambivalent towards one's own body. Throughout the book, the words and power of Bikini Kill and other Riot Grrrl bands ground the story and analysis, bringing it back to the raw emotions and experiences that gave this movement its lasting power while offering a complex, contemporary look at the promises and pitfalls of Riot Grrrl-informed feminism.

Download or read book De Escalation and Safety Intervention in Mental Health Crisis written by Rebecca N Mitz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aims of this CNL Internship Project are to decrease the number of incidents in which patients are escorted out of the clinic via staff or SFPD due to violent/aggressive behavior, are put on a 5150 hold, or who are absent without official leave (AWOL) or leave against medical advice (AMA) by 70% within 12 months of initiating an evidence-based staff training program on therapeutic communication and de-escalation techniques and implementing a de-escalation and safety intervention protocol and to achieve 100% improvement in staff perception of preparedness to manage escalating patient events and maintain safety. This project is being implemented in a psychiatric urgent care clinic San Francisco, where rest and rehabilitation is provided for individuals experiencing an exacerbation of a mental illness. Staff education and training in-service sessions were conducted regarding de-escalation techniques and the utilization of an evidence-based, standardized de-escalation and safety protocol. Results from a Likert-type scale survey administered before and after training in-service sessions and implementation of the De-Escalation and Safety Intervention protocol revealed significant improvement in staff perception of preparedness individually and as a team to safely manage escalating patient crises as well as in usefulness of the protocol. Results from a post-teaching effectiveness survey revealed 100% of staff feel strongly (5/5) that the de-escalation techniques taught and the implementation of the standardized protocol are effective methods to incorporate into practice. Results regarding 70% decrease in adverse patient discharges are still pending as post-implementation patient discharge data collection is in progress until April 2018.

Book excerpt: This report is the second installment of a four-part series on the revolution in Libya. Part Two: Escalation and Intervention details the international reaction to the war and the process that led to the U.S. and allied military intervention in March 2011. The paper begins with the initial international reaction to the uprising in Libya in the early spring of 2011 and the international debate over a no-fly zone. This section documents efforts by the United States and its European allies to garner broader support for intervention in Libya, especially from Arab states. During this time, France, Great Britain, and the United States led international efforts to intervene in Libya. The third part of the paper explains the efforts to implement a no-fly zone under the U.S.-led Operation Odyssey Dawn in March 2011. This report concludes with a discussion of the NATO-led Operation Unified Protector and emerging tensions amongst NATO allies over the way forward in Libya.
