TL;DR: The authors explored the rationale for the delivery of empathy training with violent offenders, described some of the most commonly used approaches, and reviewed the current evidence base relating to effectiveness, concluding that while there are strong theoretical grounds for identifying empathy deficits as an important area of criminogenic need, there are considerable difficulties in establishing the extent to which the interventions offered in this area might be considered to be successful in reducing risk.

TL;DR: The findings show that the inpatient unit is perceived as a safe or unsafe place, dependent on the dialectical relationship between the physical, individual, social, and symbolic aspects of the unit.

TL;DR: In this paper, 636 volunteers were asked to rate their likely reactions to two brief video representations of potentially anger arousing social transgressions, and the relationship between dispositional perspective taking and the likelihood of anger arousal following an interpersonal provocation was confirmed.

TL;DR: Nurse education and mentoring should focus on nurse self-reflection and building empathy skills in managing conflict, and influences the satisfaction of nurses and consumers, even in problematic situations.

TL;DR: It is suggested that initiatives at multiple levels are needed to help nurses to maintain safety and move towards realizing directives to reduce and, where possible, eliminate restraint use.
