Abstract
Due to the alarming rate of seclusion restraint occurrences in psychiatric in-patient setting, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) developed policies and mandated the use of S/R as a last resort. This paper addresses the implementation of nonthreatening milieu therapy as an effective means of abolishing the use of mechanical S/R. A comprehensive milieu model implementing various interventions to reduce S/R will be proposed. A need for abandoning the medical model in favor of individualized, humanistic, compassionate treatment of the patient without the use of S/R is proposed. There is a need for continued future research focusing on the effect of nonthreatening milieu therapy and the impact on S/R occurrence in psychiatric in-patient settings.
