Description of CME Course

Inpatient psychiatric units’ policies and restrictions for suicide prevention can exacerbate harm rather than promote wellness. This commentary on a case examines ethics concerns about prevention policies that overly rely on liberty restriction, as expressed in the design of inpatient psychiatric unit structures and spaces. Person-centered approaches to design are key to promoting healing and preserving dignity.
