#psychtwitter what do you see as evidence for locked inpatient psychiatric hospitals? @AllenFrancesMD @JessPsyArenella @drjessigold @sarahfineberg @jack_turban @psychunseen @sandysteingard @Altostrata @AnaFlorence @JonathanShedler @JohnSnookTAC @ahmedhankir @AmandaJoyMD

There is some evidence of iatrogenic harm and experiences of trauma in the hospital. Is it just for maintaining safety? Should that be a hospital function? What other units are locked in a hospital?

What are our minimum standards of care for inpatient psych units? Do we have good studies of what is most healing? What is the rational to put people with behavioral challenges and trouble with relationships all together?

What are alternative models? We’re should we go next? Am very interested in ideas. Please r/t
