Re: restraints in substitute care placement

[bill higgins <bill_higginsus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry.  I should clarify.  I am interested in research
on physical restraints (hands-on) in any substitute
care setting for children.  This includes mental
health settings, groups homes, residential placement
for delinquents, foster homes, etc.  Many many years
ago, when I started in social work, adolescents could
restrain other adolescents in peer programs.  I
realize this is no longer practices, but there must be
some articles on this topic.

Thanks
