A self-destructive care : Self-reports of people who experienced coercive measures and their suggestions for alternatives

• Coercive measures are commonly used as a method of intervention, despite insufficient evidence for their effectiveness and benefits. The aim of this study was to describe how people who self-harm perceive alternatives to coercive measures in relation to actual experiences of psychiatric care. A total of 19 self-reports have been analysed with qualitative content analysis, resulting in three categories: a wish for understanding instead of neglect; a wish for mutual relation instead of distrust; a wish for professionalism instead of a counterproductive care. In conclusion, if the caregivers can understand and collaborate with the patient, there is seldom any need for coercive measures
