abstract="OBJECTIVE: To draw attention to the increasing prominence given to issues of safety and security in psychiatric inpatient units at the expense of therapeutic considerations. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Progressive removal of &quot;hazards&quot; in order to prevent self harm, often in response to coronial inquests or law suits, is leading to inpatient units becoming stark and oppressive. We risk returning to a dark era wherein our patients will fear our inpatient facilities, which will have become suicidogenic.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
