Patient Experience of Coercive Measures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Use of Coercive Measures in Forensic Psychiatric Care

Abstract

Coercive situations are complicated and stressful for both the one being forced as well as the one forcing the other. Patients’ experiences of coercion have been studied since the end of the 1970s, and interest in this theme has increased since about 2000. It seems that involuntary treatment as a general concept is more accepted than individual, specific coercive measures, such as forced medication, seclusion or restraint, which patients usually deem unnecessary. Patients’ views on seclusion and restraint have been mostly but not always negative. For instance, patients have expressed seclusion- or restraint-related feelings of safety and security, protection, trust, helpfulness and a decrease of stimulation. Moreover, perceptions vary according to, for example, patients’ age and gender and their adaptation to the illness and treatment system. The importance of patients’ perspective and service user involvement in the development of services has been officially recognised. Indeed, taking patients’ experience into proper consideration is a matter of the services’ quality. In this chapter, we also discuss these future challenges.
