Assaults, self-injury, and hostile relationships are prevalent within inpatient psychiatric hospitals. Unfortunately, these phenomena are known to be unnecessarily maintained by common and well-intentioned treatment practices. The New Outlook Program at SLPRC sought to remove and replace these practices and adopt ones that promoted client self-management in an effort to improve treatment and safety outcomes. The New Outlook Program sought to reduce episodes of assault, self-injury, and use of restraints and to minimize the role of punishing intervention strategies.

Objectives:

• Identify strategies to decrease episodes of assaults and restraints
• Review and identify strategies to increase self-management
• Review and identify rationale for and strategies to reduce the role of arbitrary and punitive external controls
