Abstract
It has been a privilege to be afforded the opportunity to undertake research into and teach about seclusion and restraint for over thirty years in Australia. It is also a great privilege to be invited to talk about my research and scholarship at the 19th Victorian Collaborative Mental Health Nursing Conference. This presentation draws on research undertaken on the dynamics of seclusion and restraint with the examination of barriers and enablers, in the pursuit to improve care. There are many intrinsically linked issues related to the goals of reducing restrictive practices in acute mental health care, explored using existing research, historical sources and modern fiction. At the heart of the presentation is a fundamental emphasis on empathy and compassionate care. Hence the Elvis Costello reference in the title.
