[Restraint in child psychiatry].

In child psychiatry, there are significant ethical challenges when patients put themselves at risk or refuse to cooperate in their care. This article illustrates two situations of violence and restraints and looks at how the vulnerability of caregivers can be acknowledged in order to find the best balance between the imperatives of protection and the respect of young inpatients in child psychiatry.

Acknowledging caregivers' vulnerability in the managment of challenging behaviours to reduce control measures in psychiatry.

Background: The management of challenging behaviours in inpatient with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorders can lead to an escalation of control measures. In these complex situations where patients have an intellectual disability/autism spectrum disorder accompanied by a psychiatric comorbidity, the experiences of caregivers related to the crisis management have rarely been studied.

Purpose: This study examined the moral experiences of caregivers related to challenging behaviours' management and alternatives to control measures.

Multidisciplinary treatment plan for challenging behaviors in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Among symptoms that patients with neurodevelopmental disorders can exhibit, challenging behaviors (CBs) are some of the more complex to face, both for caregivers and the patients themselves. They are more frequent in individuals with severe autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disability, and during the transition period from late childhood to young adulthood. Here, we offer an overview of the therapeutic approaches proven worthy in managing CB.
