Abstract
The answer for treating pathologic aggression (PA) in children on inpatient psychiatry units (based on various factors like severity of aggression and co-morbidities) is less likely to be restrictive interventions or sedating the patient. Using seclusion and restraints or medications to calm down the aggression is not free of adverse consequences. A protocol is needed to safely and effectively address aggressive and violent children and adolescents seen very commonly in psychiatry inpatient units.
