Abstract
Seclusion of a patient who has been admitted to an institution for psychiatric care is one of the possible interventions from a range of treatment and care strategies. Seclusion is used in different kinds of institutions, for example, in psychiatric hospitals, institutions for mentally handicapped persons, and judicial institutions. Seclusion is a controversial issue in the care of psychiatric inpatients, having provoked moral debate for several decades. Seclusion is associated with neglect and abuse; thus, the issue provokes emotional reactions on both sides of the debate. According to Mattson and Sacks.
