Abstract

TOPIC: Conduct disorders in children are a phenomenon of concern in child and adolescent psychiatric nursing. PURPOSE: To review the major principles of coercion theory, provide an analysis of the relevant research, and discuss implications for inpatient nursing care. SOURCES: Published literature from the fields of medicine, nursing, psychology, sociology, and clinical experience. CONCLUSIONS: The principles of coercion theory are conceptually relevant in developing intervention strategies to treat conduct disorders and to interrupt escalation of aggressive behavior patterns in inpatient settings.
