title: Seclusion in psychiatry.
abstract: The subject of seclusion will always generate professional, legal and moral debate. Lawrence Savage and Emad Salib examined the continuing and regular use of seclusion in a secure mental health unit, and suggest that the seclusion of some patients may continue to be a safe and effective intervention to control incidents of disturbed behaviour.
