Abstract
People who think they know what is best for others should not be taken too seriously. Indeed, as some have suggested such people may even be dangerous (Rowe, 1989). Any consideration of psychiatric nursipg, its practice and its value must, therefore, accommodate the unknown as a balance for what little knowledge we do possess.
While she was away I thought she must be a very new nurse: she had not yet become inhuman, but was trying to learn the trick. (Welch, 1983)
