This research paper: This is a 6 page paper discussing therapeutic containment. Therapeutic containment is a controlled and structured psychiatric therapy to help calm and stabilize children who experience anxiety, tantrums, insecurity or trauma. The idea for therapeutic containment is to provide the child with a temporary environment which will allow him to calm himself and feel safe and secure. Therapeutic containment is meant to be non-punitive and thus each technique is to allow temporary relief for the child in the hopes that the child will learn to internalize the feelings of containment into maturity. Containment techniques and skills include space manipulation in which children can be given a place to have a “time-out” if needed, routine management which will provide a structured environment in addition to the establishment of caretaker teamwork, rules, and at times, physical containment. Physical containment varies according to the child as holding a child who is upset may provide a calming effect on some, children who have been traumatized react more positively to containment techniques which involve some distance from adults. The reassurance therapeutic containment can give a child is beneficial to allowing the child time to experience feelings of safety and security needed in development. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
