Abstract

Restraining and secluding children living in residential facilities, though controversial, are commonly practiced by staff to manage disruptive behavior. In an effort to address some of the ongoing issues about the practice, this article examined the reasons for their use, their theoretical underpinnings, and extant empirical evidence in support of the theories. It is suggested that the current array of theories be updated and comprehensive research programs be encouraged to assess their clinical utility with various populations in a variety of settings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
