Chaining In Psychology

Alternatives to Chaining Mental Patients

Imagine you are chained to a wall in a psychiatric hospital, in a small room without electricity or running water. Imagine you were told that you are mentally ill, yet no one has ever correctly diagnosed with a mental illness because there is not a psychiatrist or psychologist on the train in the facility, the above scenarios occur in Somalia and Somaliland were the practice of chaining is common psychiatric facilities are the only ones that were built during the colonial era.

Chaining is a practice that is considered abusive and human in the West, but in Somalia and in most underdeveloped countries, this practice is tolerated and no one speaks for the people who are mentally ill chained walls. For example, "The regular practice of chaining continues to undermine the dignity and human rights of people with mental disorders and affect the quality of mental health services in Somalia" (World Health Organization, 2011).

It can be dangerous for patients and staff, and requires training and experience to be done properly "(CBS News, 2011). Another reason to have a doctor writes the order is to protect the patient against the abuse and neglect and making it difficult for staff to use restraints as punishment.
