Threats of violence in group-oriented day treatment.
Threats of violence in a group-oriented day treatment program are examined regarding the patient's motivation to make threats, and what occurs among patients and staff that fosters threats. Effects of threats on other patients, the program, and therapists are considered. Management of the threatening patient, the group, and staff reactions are described. Safety of group members is a sine qua non for the groups to function effectively.
