Models/Approaches to mental health nursing
• 1950s into the early 1980s that mental health nursing was a specialty in ascendancy. This was a period when many of the leading nurse theorists came from this specialty ( e.g. Peplau 1952, Orlando 1961, Travelbee 1971)

crucial to delivering effective interventions– Biopsychosocial interventions leads to better
outcomes for patients
