“…The findings of this study are generally consistent with previous research on restraint use in medical facilities but differ from previous research in psychiatric facilities. Unlike previous research in psychiatric facilities, 1,3,17‐20 this study found that patients with a psychotic or bipolar disorder (manic episode) were no more likely to be restrained than patients with other diagnoses. Patients were more likely to be restrained if they were diagnosed with dementia similar to the findings of Robbins et al 11 …”

“…However, race ceased to be significant when the data were analysed according to age group. The authors suggest that high numbers of young, black patients may therefore account for apparent racial bias (Carpenter et al, 1988). A similar result was reported in a replication of this study (Forquer et al, 1996).…”

The evidence for the assertion that racial stereotyping influences mental health professionals perceptions of the dangerousness of psychiatric patients is examined in this review. As there is very little literature which directly examines this, the review draws on studies examining the relationship between race and the use of coercion within the mental health system. The use of compulsory admission to hospital in Britain, and the use of seclusion and restraint in the US are examined. Alternative explanations of the over-representation of black 1 men in the use of these procedures are discussed and the evidence of each explanation evaluated. The review concludes that there is some evidence in support of the assertion; that racial bias in perceptions of dangerousness influences patient management.

“…Previous psychiatric and gerontologic research about the use of restraints has focused almost entirely on (a) identifying the precipitants to the restraining of patients (Bornstein, 1985;DiFabio, 1981;Guirguis & Durost, 1978;Phillips & Nasr, 1983;Roper, Coutts, Sather, & Taylor, 1985;Sheridan, Henrion, Robinson , & Baxter, 1990;Soloff, 1978Soloff, , 1979Telintelo, Kuhlm an, & Wing, 1983;Way, 1986), (b) the reasons for restraining patients (Berland, Wachtel, Kiel, O' Sullivan, & Phillips, 1990;Burton, German, Rouner, Brant, & Clark, 1992;Ramprogus & Gibson, 1991;Robbins et al, 1987;Strum pf & Evans, 1988;Tinnetti, Lui, & Ginter, 1992), and (c) characteristics of the patient that indicate a potential need for physic al restraint (Berland et al, 1990;Bornstein, 1985;Burton et al, 1992;Carpenter, Hannon, McCleery, & Wanderling, 1988;DiFabio, 1981;Lofgren , MacPherson, Granieri, Myllenbeck, & Sprafka, 1989;Phillips & Nasr, 1983;Robbins et al, 1987;Roper et al, 1985;Sheridan et al, 1990;Tinnetti et al, 1992;Way & Banks, 1990). …”

Being Restrained: A Study of Power and Powerlessness

Previous research about the use of restraints has mainly sought generalizations regarding (a) who is likely to be restrained, (b) the frequency of the use of restraints, and (c) the behavior that precipitates the application of restraining devices. Therefore, there has been a paucity of research that attempts to understand the impact of restraint on the restrained person. The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of the experience of being restrained for 10 psychiatric patients who had been restrained in leather restraints. Participants were interviewed in unstructured interviews. The taped interviews were transcribed and analyzed by means of a modification of an eight-stage interpretive process, grounded in Heideggerian phenomenology. In this article the theme of power is reported and discussed.
