What is a straitjacket? straitjacket, also known as a straightjacket or straitjacket, is a garment used for physical restraint. It encloses the body in such a way that movement is severely restricted or almost impossible. It was originally developed to restrict freedom of movement in cases of violent or mentally disturbed behavior. Accordingly, it was primarily used in psychiatric institutions. But what is the purpose of a straitjacket? In its original context, it was intended to provide protection without injuring the patient. The straightjacket was probably invented in France in the 18th century.
Its use quickly spread throughout Europe and North America – but was soon viewed critically. In modern psychiatry, it is considered obsolete. Is the straitjacket still used today? It is almost never used in professional care – instead, de-escalation, pharmacological sedation, and voluntary safety systems are used.
