Abstract

The article deals with the following aspects : principles and values upon which intervention plans recommended for violent patients are based, as well as a description of the clinical framework, at work on two levels. The first level is that of the patient aiming for autonomy and taking responsibility. For this purpose, we developed various mechanisms and tools. These are : the individualized-care plan, the reference person, the resource person, the life situation and re-educative activities, clinical intervention specifically for aggressivity (physical and psychological intervention for the resident and the personnel when there is acting out). The second level of the framework concerns is concerned with care personnel developing on their own ways to deal with violence manifested by the patient. We list several ways to help personnel with this difficult task.
