Abstract
TOPIC: Overview of the theoretical and practical basis of a new model of psychiatric and mental health nursing practice. PURPOSE: To illustrate the history of the development of the model and some of the processes that aim to re-empower the patient and develop genuinely collaborative approaches to care. SOURCES: Literature review, author's research, and related clinical experience. CONCLUSIONS: The Tidal Model provides a practice framework for the exploration of the patient's need for nursing and the provision of individually tailored care.
