Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay was to compile science concerning social isolation based on the experiences from people who had been detained, in what ways the social isolation affected an individual and to what extent the facility members mattered concerning the work with clients in social isolation. The method used was a literature study in the form of a scoping review based on seven studies and the theory used was Honneth's theory of recognition. The collected data was processed through a qualitative content analysis which resulted in the four themes social strain, consequences of isolation, dehumanization and treatment. The conclusion based on the essay's purpose was that client's experiences of isolation were negative, with self-harm, neglect and loss of identity.
