Summary
Virtually all societies have found the need for containment and control of behaviour by physical means. The first words in any discussion about restraint must include the methods of avoiding the need for its use wherever possible. De-escalation, negotiation, meaningful activity programmes and the development of trusting relationships are the necessary first steps. This chapter focuses on the activity of restraint, assuming that due attention has already been paid to the methods of avoiding the need for its use.
