Synopsis

For some time there has been concern about the use of restraint on people who use health and social care services. The term restraint is used to cover a wide range of activities by means of which an individual s freedom of movement is restricted. Challenging behaviours, organisational cultures and resource pressures all infl uence the use of restraint. The behaviours or situations that give rise to health and social care staff considering the use of restraint need to be understood, and there should be much greater awareness of therapeutic approaches, which are at the core of health and social care practice. This book has been produced so that the problems surrounding the use of restraints across a range of health and social care settings can be better understood. Ultimately it is hoped that the book will contribute, in some way, to levering improvements in how we understand restraint and practically in the care people receive. It is designed to appeal to a wide readership, including health and social care professionals, researchers, students and lecturers. Chapters assume no specialist knowledge.
