Abstract
Confinement in psychiatry is one of the most hotly debated issues in institutional settings worldwide. Isolation and restraint are included in confinement. In this paper, the negative effects of these therapeutic methods are discussed together with their consequences on the patient, on the therapeutic alliance between caregiver and patient, as well as on the nursing staff who practice them. The ethical issues of confinement are also detailed in the texts and recommendations that govern these practices. It is essential to question oneself as an individual practitioner and as a team member concerning any action of confinement and to review the episode with the patient as soon as they have recovered. It is also important above all to know how to question oneself regularly on these practices in order to give them meaning.
