Abstract
- Forensic mental health inpatient services are required to use restrictive interventions within their care and treatment, in the interests of security and risk management of people with mental illness and a history of criminal offence. However, such restrictive practices can often hinder the patient's process of recovery as well as the mental health professional's ability to provide recovery-oriented care. As some research suggests that restrictive measures are often favoured over more therapeutic options, there is a need to understand the influence this has on rehabilitation and the available alternatives. A narrative literature review was conducted to identify the specific restrictive measures that are used within these services and suggest alternative therapeutic strategies. A variety of methods of coercive treatment were identified, leading to recommendations around areas such as training, processes and therapeutic milieu.
