Abstract
An observational study of naturally-occurring timeouts was conducted in a child psychiatry inpatient milieu over a three-month period. Data from nine children were assessed. Child negative behavior was generally low in the timeout, processing, and return to activity phases. Results from individuals were discussed in terms of their diagnosis and events taking place on the unit. Staff behavior during timeouts were also described. The crucial role of processing after the timeout was discussed.
