  • Summary

    This chapter proposes that a psychological model based on disturbed internal cognitive appraisals and social reinforcement has sufficient flexibility to formulate challenging behaviour within the ward environment. Disturbance of appraisals is likely to have a traumatic basis which has solidified into powerful beliefs which influence the transferential projections of the patient to the treating team and ward situation. It is the patient’s distorted view of the ‘social -emotional situation’ that drives behaviour – rationale within the context of distorted beliefs. Tools for analysing and formulating the challenging behaviour and suggested treatments are taken up over a number of case studies.
