Abstract
TOPIC. Nurses' attitudes toward the use of seclusion and restraint with children.
PURPOSE. To review recent literature concerning these controversial interventions, and to examine possible alternative therapeutic interventions.

CONCLUSIONS. Staff have a positive attitude toward the use of seclusion and restraint. A theory of pozoer and control may explain their use when many alternative, less restrictive interventions are available.
