Seclusion as therapeutic management: an invited commentary

Article Abstract:

Seclusion is a therapeutic method in the social development of psychosocially impaired children if it is used as a means of instilling a sense of control in the child. It may be implemented as a form of minor penalty in which the child is allowed to take time off to control behavior that is considered disruptive or maladaptive. The conditions for seclusion should also be safe and reassuring so that the child does not lose a sense of dignity during the term of seclusion.
