Learning disabilities. Gentle teaching: an introduction.
This article aims to raise nurses' awareness of the technique of gentle teaching, which has been used with considerable success in helping people who present challenging behaviours. Based on an appreciation of the essential worth of individuals, and in the need to manage people rather than behaviours, the authors claim that gentle teaching allows nurses to 'see people as they really are'.
