You can't magically de-escalate people any more than you can magically un-depress people or magically reorient people with Alzheimer's. Do you want the staff to stand by and "listen with respect" while the patients cut or starve themselves?

@twolessba1087 The psych patient has been committed to the hospital because she ISN'T of sound mind. That means she can't legally make her own health decisions. She's there because a shoulder to cry on and a pep talk didn't cut it. If she doesn't comply with the psych hospital's program, she'll be shipped to the regular hospital, orders will be written, and a feeding tube will be inserted down her nose into her small intestine. If she pulls the tube out, more orders will be written and wrist and mitt restraints will be applied so that she doesn't pull her feeding tube out. It's up to hospital staff to be the bad guys and get yelled, punched, and kicked at so that the psych patient can be saved from death by self- starvation.

@John-u1j7r It's really a catch 22, because the staff can also be terminated or lose their licenses if they DON'T physically intervene to stop a patient from harming themselves! Some of these facilities in the USA have to staff with agency nurses because they can't get staff. These nurses are supposed to "redirect" the clients without using any physical contact, but are still expected to do things such as escort the patients from one building to another without them running away!

USA has no NHS and plenty of the public and private psych facility staff are just whatever warm bodies the facility can find. Dealing with tons of red tape, ridiculous regulations, as well as aggressive, combative patients makes for a lot of burnout, so facilities have to hire pretty much whoever as long as they don't have felonies.

Jordan Peterson? The man's a moron. He's either saying something totally obvious that everyone knows already like "stand up straight and clean your room" or something completely loopy like "women can't be leaders because this one guy got lobsters really stoned." Nobody takes his pop psychology seriously except a couple far right meninists.
