Abstract
In 1991, the author, drawing from his fourteen years of work in residential treatment, created a fictitious child named Gus E. Studelmeyer and asked him to write about his experiences in residential care. Gus, 13, lived in a residential treatment center for boys. The essay, "What Do I Think About Residential Treatment: A Child's Perspective" was subsequently published in this journal (Volume 9, Number 3 1992). As a result, Gus was asked to keep on writing. The following chapter deals with the serious issue of physical restraint. This chapter-as well as the original-was created to help child care professionals better empathize with, and care for, children and families in residential treatment.
