The SafeClinch Training System is designed for caregivers dealing with uncooperative behaviors. It is a complete verbal de-escalation and physical intervention program. I receive request often asking for a demonstration of the techniques in the SafeClinch Program. This book showcases a very small percent of the overall SafeClinch Training System for demonstration purposes only. There is some debate on whether we should physically restrain a person as a caregiver. This book does not tackle that debate. This is not another self-defense book. There are plenty of those out there already. I purposely did not spend a great deal of time showing this facet of the training. Although, I do cover self-defense situations thoroughly in the SafeClinch …show more content…
The physical intervention techniques in this book are meant to appear as if I was hugging the combative person until they could regain self-control and no longer combative. I cannot just throw a bunch of techniques together and call it an intervention program. All the techniques have to work together and I should be able to flow from one technique to the next with some flexibility. The techniques in this book rely on gross motor movements. These movements are easy to learn and retain over long periods of time. If a particular technique is not working I transition to another position. No one technique is 100% effective. I have to be flexible and I continue to move until I get the person immobilized. Even during a physical intervention I make sure to use verbal commands and continue my verbal de-escalation efforts. I give myself the option to disengage or escape if safety is a concern and wait for others to assist if available. I never want to be surprised by a person’s behavior. So, I stay mentally sharp about my environment. If a person is surprised by an “outburst” they might overreact to the situation. In any physical intervention I make sure I use verbal de-escalation techniques first. I use only the minimum amount of force necessary, and I discontinue any physical techniques when no longer

Kazdin discusses multiple strategies and puts his use of scenarios together to help the reader understand what exactly can be used with a kid who can not contain his or her behavioral issues. He also uses multiple elements throughout this article helping the reader know what side to sway to. He first uses persuasion to draw the reader into his new idea and get them interested then he goes straight into talking about what they’re doing wrong and ways they can change the negative backlashes into the positive responses. Kazdin then moves to focusing on his tone, using specific words to explain how things in his eyes need to change and how bad they need to change. Using specific tone words help connect to the reader on a whole other level of connecting with the reader and helping the reader understand the importance of his message and how he wants to portray his idea.
MHS 240: Fundamentals of Applied Behavior Analysis. This course will examine the principles of learning theories, behavior theories, and procedures related to modifying existing behaviors and acquiring new behaviors. The course will also provide a basic understanding of a functional behavior assessment (FBA). After completion of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of behavior modification techniques (e.g., reinforcement, punishment, extinction, discrimination training, generalization, shaping, classical condition, conditioned reinforcement, schedule reinforcement), an understanding of what maintains challenging behaviors, and its application in the field of mental health, primary care, and behavioral analysis. * MHS
However, to attain their ultimate goal, they realize some things need to change. They believe by learning effective intervention strategies, especially conflict resolution strategies,
"Most such programs for intervention combine several, if not all, of the following elements: group therapy for the perpetrator; group therapy for the spouse of the perpetrator; group therapy for the child victim; dyadic therapy for the nonperpetrating parent and the victim; individual therapy for the victim; and eventual family therapy for the perpetrator, victim, nonperpetrating
abuse: When the service user lives with the carer, it may increase the chances for abuse to occur as this situation may cause stress and resentment if the carer feels he/she cannot cope. Not properly trained staff who do not receive any supervision or support at work, as well as stressed staff who are going through personal problems, or who do not like working in the care sector, may increase the risk of an individual being abused. In addition, patients who are not mobile, are confused, suffer from dementia or are aggressive or challenging, may also present an increase for the risk of an individual being abused, since the carer
The subcategories in her journal article consist of: decent housing, what you pay for, shut-in, restraining chairs, community care, few nurses, friends & relatives, and changes. I love the subcategories she put in this article. Although this article is more than thirty years old, I still believe I could implicate it into my Researched Position Paper very easily with the then and know technique. With the subcategory “restraining chairs” you can probably assume that in todays era of nursing homes it would not be realistic to use restraining chairs for resident that are acting out. There have been laws put in place to help the resident in nursing homes like no restraints.
While I remain aware of others emotions I have a tough time keeping my emotions in check and tend to react before taking the time to reflect on the
• Caregivers may be hearing information that is very contrary to their own personal standards. • Caregivers may be unclear of their responsibility to report or what constitutes abuse or neglect. • Caregivers may be fearful that they will be brought into a legal matter where their reputation and character may be questioned. • Caregivers may not want to become involved. • Caregivers may be fearful of retaliation from the caregiver/alleged abuser or their agency.

I work with eight children between the ages of three and five that have PTSD due to early trauma. This means that the children have a hard time with regulating themselves and expressing verbally what their emotions are. This struggle can lead to aggressive behaviors such as kicking, biting, scratching, smacking, and punching. Last week I was working with a child that is known to show aggressive behavior and his arousal escalated into him smacking my face really hard. I was pretty shocked by this and it set me into tears.
"Child Abuse and Neglect" says that Physical abuse can include "striking a child with the hand, fist, or foot or with an object, burning, shaking, pushing, or throwing a child; pinching or biting the child, pulling a child by the hair or cutting off a child’s air." However, physical abuse is considered to be a use of punishment in wrecked as well as normal families such as the use of physical force with the intent of inflicting bodily pain, but not injury, for the purpose of correction or control or discipline. Yet, there is a thin line between physical punishment and abuse which many parents seem to lack notice of. "Child Abuse and Neglect" explains that the level of force used by an angry or frustrated parent can easily get out of hand and lead to injury. Emotional or verbal abuse is one of the worst forms of mistreatment due to its invisibility.
Having a mindset that it is temporary, harmless, and will only last a short period, can allow one to feel relief and often causes an episode to end (Breus). Another means to end this is focusing on moving a smaller, less important part of the body. The ability to move a smaller part, can awaken the brain and stop the occurrence. When getting into the mindset that this can be controlled, one can usually get out of it (Hurd et al.). Along with trying to move a smaller part of the body, people have found that making an intense movement could also end an episode.
The aggression can be prevented with therapeutic intervention, which is not needed when it comes to
