Using de-escalation techniques  for people with psychosis induced aggression or agitation appears to be accepted as good clinical practice but is not supported by evidence from r and omised trials .
BACKGROUND Aggression is a disposition , a willingness to inflict harm , regardless of whether this is behaviourally or verbally expressed and regardless of whether physical harm is sustained .
De-escalation is a psychosocial intervention for managing people with disturbed or aggressive behaviour .
Secondary management strategies such as rapid tranquillisation , physical intervention and seclusion should only be considered once de-escalation and other strategies have failed to calm the service user .
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of de-escalation techniques in the short-term management of aggression or agitation  thought or likely to be due to psychosis .
It is unclear why it has remained such an under- research ed area .
