Abstract
![CDATA[The development and dissemination of structured training in restraint in health care has historically been characterised by an overwhelming predominance of men as trainers (Zarola and Leather 2006). This situation appears to be the result of a process that Gruber (1998:302) has termed 'normative dominance'. In this process one gender, in this instance male exerts, greater control and influence over the other in a given area. Why this has happened in relation to the role of restraint trainer and what the implications of such gendering may be for female participants being trained have to date been unexplored. This paper reports the results of one element of a larger study, which involved semi structured interviews with women who had experience of physical intervention training. The results of the semi structured interviews arc presented here together with some elements of results obtained from the larger study in order to provide context and explain the recruitment process.]]
