Abstract:
Mental health nurses (MHNs) have a long and varied relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, including the attendance of educational seminars and the acceptance of promotional material. This article presents evidence that suggests MHNs may need to review this relationship regardless of their beliefs about the role of pharmacological interventions in the treatment of mental illness. It also explores the influence of advertising within professional journals and calls for greater
debate on this issue.
