Abstract
The use of various forms of restraint and control in psychiatric treatment centers has increasingly come under critical scrutiny as the rights of patients have become a legal issue.

Specifically, age and development were found significant factors; younger children, and children with below average IQ scores were at greater risk for seclusion.
