“…Mental health nursing literature has long been concerned with the therapeutic nature of this relationship dating back to its origins in the work of Peplau (1952) who emphasized the importance of interpersonal relations in nursing. Most of the subsequent mental health nursing literature on the nurse–client relationship draws on Peplau's conceptualization (Thelander 1997, Chambers 1998, Lego 1998, O’Brien 2001). An understanding of psychotherapeutic processes is a core component and distinguishing feature of mental health nursing.…”

There are problems for mental health nurses in using psychiatric diagnoses as outcomes of their nursing assessments and nursing diagnoses present similar issues. However, there is a need in practice to link the assessment to nursing interventions in a meaningful way. This paper proposes that the clinical formulation can be regarded as central to providing this cohesion. The formulation does not merely organize the assessment findings but is also an interpretation or explanation, made in consultation with the client, of what meaning can be attributed to the issues explored in the assessment process. Because this interpretation is dependent on both the client's and the nurse's explanatory frameworks, there are multiple ways of developing the formulation. It is also an evolving and dynamic statement of understanding. A case example is provided in the paper to illustrate how the same case can be interpreted in different ways and the implications this has for the nursing interventions provided.

The aim of this phenomenological study was to construct an interpretation of the experience of nurse-patient relationships, in the context of community psychiatric nursing. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the experience of the relationship from the perspective of the clients. Themes of 'having someone looking out for me', 'working in collaboration', and 'being understood and gaining understanding' were identified. This thematic structure was used to understand the meaning of the relationship for the clients. Implications for practice, education, clinical supervision and mental health services are discussed.
