| Annotation | The effect of a brief in-service training programme on the psychosocial management of behavioural disturbance in residential care is described. Although the incidence of problematic behaviour did not change three months after training, staff in the experimental homes reported a significant improvement in their management of problematic behaviour, as compared to the control home. However, these effects were not maintained a year later. The importance of post-training supervision and the sociocultural context of the home in the maintenance of psychosocial intervention in residential settings is discussed. |
