Mental Health and Illness in Long-term Care
Mental illness is a common problem among nursing home residents, and a primary cause of behavioral management problems for staff.

An emphasis is placed on accurate identification of the underlying causes of the difficult behavior, and on the staff's management of their own feelings about problem behaviors.
