“…The value of the psychodynamic approach is demonstrated above but many writers and professionals would disagree that other approaches are less successful or fail to engage the client in a close, therapeutic relationship. For example, McCann (2001) promotes the use of psychosocial interventions in psychosis, which have been shown to reduce positive, negative and affective symptoms together with an improvement in social functioning (Lancashire et al . 1997).…”

Psychiatric intensive care units (PICUs) were first developed in the UK in the early 1970s and have become an integral part of inpatient services. This paper reviews all aspects of PICU provision from its origins to the most recent studies of intensive care treatment and philosophy. A search of CINAHL, MEDLINE and British Nursing Index databases revealed ample research and discussion papers from the past 30 years to permit a thorough review of the available literature. This divides roughly into discussion and descriptive research on topics related to: (a) the infrastructure of PICUs, including bed numbers, staffing levels, admission criteria and aspects of the physical environment; and (b) the treatment provided to patients on the PICU, both pharmacological and psychosocial, plus a limited amount of evaluative research on the efficacy of PICU care. This paper provides a summary and overview of these issues based upon currently available literature. It concludes that there is strong evidence for wide variation in the provision and nature of PICU care, reflecting idiosyncratic and localized development of services. Moreover, there is an almost complete lack of evidence on the efficacy of PICU care for particular types of patients and problems, leaving a paucity of research upon which PICU infrastructure, policy and therapeutic approach can be based.

“…A blend of strategies is suggested to be most useful to help counter this (Rowlands, ) including elements of academic and educational outreach, inter‐professional and team‐based learning, interactive workshops, supervision, audit, feedback, and prompts. One of the potential sources of information concerning the implementation of CBT and FI comes from the growing emergence of psychosocial interventions (PSI) in psychiatric nursing (McCann, ). PSI is a mixture of medical, social, and psychological interventions and includes more than CBT and FI techniques.…”

The Optimal Treatment Project advocated by Falloon has been demonstrated through the scientific research literature to be efficient and effective treatment strategies for people experiencing severe mental illness. For this reason, there is little critique of this approach. While the potential value of the project is acknowledged, it is important to identify the appropriateness of the model for specific services and to understand comprehensively the resources necessary for successful implementation. The aim of this paper is to review the literature in relation to the Optimal Treatment Project with a view to exploring the complexities associated with the model. It is concluded that the involvement of multiple stakeholders, including consumers of mental health services, should become an essential element of any implementation strategy.
