This paper traces the historical roots of mental health nursing relating these to contemporary practice in the case of people with all forms of mental illness. An attempt is made to explain the current interest in the nurse's interpersonal role with reference to specific theoreticals models and the development of care practices which emphasise social systems or social relationships. Emphasis is given to reports in the British literature, although some reference is made to North American nursing commentators. It is argued that although research evidence is weak, strong indications exist to suggest that the nurse's primary role lies in the imagination of their interpersonal relationship with the patient in an attempt to effect lasting change in the patient's capacity to live an ordinary life.
本文追溯了精神卫生护理的历史根源，并将其与各类精神疾病患者的当代护理实践联系起来。本文试图参照特定的理论模型以及强调社会系统或社会关系的护理实践发展，来解释当前对护士人际角色的关注。本文重点关注英国文献中的报告，尽管也会提及一些北美护理评论家的观点。本文认为，尽管研究证据薄弱，但有充分迹象表明，护士的主要角色在于设想其与患者的人际关系，以期持久改变患者过上正常生活的能力。
