Restraint and seclusion use in U.S. School settings
Restraint and seclusion (R&S) are high risk, emergency procedures that are used in response to perceived violent, dangerous situations. They have been employed for years in a variety of settings that serve children, such as psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment facilities, but are now being recognized as used in the public schools. The field of education has begun to examine these practices in response to national scrutiny and a Congres…
Speaking up about the unspeakable
Beyond point and level systems
Many residential treatment facilities and child inpatient units in the United States have been structured by way of motivational programming such as the point and/or level systems. On the surface, they appear to be a straightforward contingency management tool that is based on social learning theory and operant principles. In this article, the authors argue that the assumptions upon which point and level systems are based do not hold up to close …
Domestic Violence and Children’s Presence
Unlicensed residential programs
Over the past decade in the United States, the number of private residential facilities for youth has grown exponentially, and many are neither licensed as mental health programs by states, nor accredited by respected national accrediting organizations. The Alliance for the Safe, Therapeutic and Appropriate use of Residential Treatment (A START) is a multi-disciplinary group of mental health professionals and advocates that formed in response to …
Surfacing the Life Phases of a Mental Health Support Group
Support groups have increased rapidly in number and become a viable alternative to formal treatment in the United States. However, little is known regarding how mental health advocacy or support groups start and develop, or about challenges that can threaten their survival. In this 21/2-year ethnography, the author studied the culture of a developing family support program associated with a system of care. Several phases emerged, reflecting an or…

Snake oil, ethics, and the first amendment
Snake oil, ethics and the first amendment
This article considers the appropriate legal and ethical response to those whose advocacy of "alternative" or unvalidated therapies places people at risk of harm. What are our professional responsibilities with respect to such advocacy, and what sorts of harm will justify government intervention?
Safeguarding Themselves and Their Children
A prolegomenon on restraint of children
News media and advocacy groups have brought to public attention a disturbing number of recent deaths proximal to the use of physical restraints. This paper examines the evidence indicating that use of these procedures can be dangerous to patients; explores the theoretical basis and practical application of restraints; and argues not only that their use may be unethical as a therapeutic intervention, but that it may have constitutional implication…
Children Exposed to Family Violence
This article employs the major foci of a developmental-ecological model to evaluate the past decade of research on children exposed to family violence. The foci of this framework were operationalized into a coding system that was then applied to all empirical studies published in this area since 1987. This coding system allowed for inspection of the current state of the knowledge base from this perspective and the ability to determine the progres…
Rethinking Professional Attitudes in Mental Health Settings
Given that the psychiatric nursing standards developed by the American Nurses Association strongly advocate the inclusion of families in treatment settings, the study discussed in this article sought to determine how families were actually experiencing care in mental health settings for children and adolescents. The aim was to elicit the perspectives of parents whose children were hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals and to examine those experie…
Discovering a Dialectic of Care
Using data from a recent study on the outcomes of child psychiatric hospitalization, the author presents a critique of the intervention-outcome movement that dominates the health care agenda. Employing an exploratory descriptive study design and Denzin’s interpretive interactionism method, she presents data that illustrate how interventions can become distorted by contextual factors, conflicting ideologies, agendas, and failure to thoughtfully co…
Prevalence and Effects of Child Exposure to Domestic Violence
In recent years, researchers have focused attention on children who are exposed to domestic violence. Although presently there are no scientifically credible estimates of the national prevalence of children exposed to domestic violence, existing data suggest that large numbers of American children are affected. This article discusses the limitations of current databases and describes a promising model for the collection of reliable and valid prev…
Shackled in the Land of Liberty
This article addresses the rights of children in areas of juvenile justice, child welfare, and mental health. Although a large proportion of the juvenile court's business includes child welfare and mental health cases, these important areas are rarely considered by authors concerned with the future of the juvenile court. In mental health, children have few, if any, rights. Yet, they are often subjected to abuse and constraints that would constitu…
Interpretive Interactionism
Norman Denzin's interpretive interactionism research method is presented and its value as an addition to the researcher's tool kit for studying interventions and outcomes is discussed. Examining a narrative example from a recent study, the richness of this method for evaluation research is demonstrated. Crucial links between personal experiences, structures, and public policies can be made through the examination of experiences that are elicited …
