Summary

Working within psychiatric intensive or low secure care requires effective multidisciplinary teamwork. This chapter outlines factors that contribute to the essential makeup as well as cohesion of such a team. This is especially pertinent within what can be a demanding and emotionally fraught environment. Management of challenging behaviour displayed by patients can prove difficult for both individual team members and the whole team. Resilience is needed, and this chapter highlights valuable aspects to positively improve team functioning within difficult clinical situations.
