TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - De-escalation in the management of aggression and violence JO - Nursing times A1 - Paterson, B. A1 - Leadbetter, D. A1 - McComish, A. SP - 58 EP - 61 VL - 93 IS - 36 N2 - De-escalation has historically been viewed by nurses as an intuitive process. This paper argues that de-escalation can be explained by reference to theory and an exposition of practice skills, and refutes the intuitive position by proposing that de-escalation can be understood as an interactive process with discrete identifiable components.
