Reducing Restraint and Restrictive Behavior Management Practices

Více o knize

Focusing on the historical context of restraint and seclusion in mental health settings, this book outlines a framework for transitioning to safer, evidence-based behavior management alternatives. It highlights the detrimental effects of restrictive practices on vulnerable populations, including impaired elders and children with intellectual disabilities. The latter chapters present data supporting less restrictive interventions that prioritize safety and uphold client rights and ethical standards, advocating for a gradual shift away from restraint-based strategies.
