Objectives: How to manage engaging parents and assessing violence in children
Description: Who can explain the Littleton, Colorado and other tragedies in which children have been murdered by other children in their schools? And yet, as mental health professionals, people turn to us for answers. The prevalence of violence in our schools is a national tragedy and a national embarrassment. In this series of tapes, the listener will hear national experts discuss the causes of violence in children and how to begin to deal with our "toxic" culture, how to manage engaging parents and assessing violence in children, how to work with families of murder victims and prevent compassion fatigue, and how to teach skills for dealing with aggressive, bullying children. In "Assessment," Robert Galatzer-Levy ,MD, gives clear and direct advice on what to do and not do in assessing for violence. Dr. Galatzer-Levy is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst of children, adolescents and adults.
