Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Time-out is retreat to a neutral place, so clients can regain self-control. It is not a punishment. When a client's behavior begins to escalate, such as when he or she yells at or threatens someone, a time-out may prevent aggression or acting out. Staff may need to institute a time-out for clients if they are unwilling or unable to do so. Eventually, the goal for clients is to recognize signs of increasing agitation and take a self-instituted time-out to control emotions and outbursts.
