I just do not get how so many of our adult staff cannot grasp the concept of not getting involved in power struggles. Urgh. Case in point. We have 2 pts on the unit veeeery Axis II, antisocial PD males that just rub you the wrong way. Well every time staff has to redirect them, they get into arguements with them about what actually happened and then want to argue some more after the fact. We had one guy got from his room to Tue bathroom shirtless. The staff wanted to make a big deal about it. I just went down and said, "Hey I can't have you in the hallway without a shirt on". He apologized I started to walk away biut staff still wanted to have a go with him. I just had to tell them "let's go". If he did it again, he was warned and we'd step up to losing privileges. I don't understand what is SO HARD about this. The C&A staff is pretty great at being firm but fair with the kids.
