“…Actions directed at professional roles have prompted debate within the mental health field, and have the capacity to cause unforeseen consequences [14]. The granting of prescribing powers to mental health nurses, for example, has revealed both the heterogeneous beliefs surrounding medication which exist within this profession [64,65] and concerns within some segments of psychiatry over the implications of this extension to the work of 16 nurses [66]. Fast-moving actions have also thrown policy tensions and inconsistencies to the fore.…”

ObjectiveTo use systems ideas and the concept of 'wicked problems' to frame examination of a decade-and-ahalf of UK mental health policy. MethodsTheoretically informed policy analysis. ResultsModern health care is complex, and mental health care particularly so. In the UK the mental health system has also become a policymaking priority. Features of this system mean that many of the problems policymakers face are of the 'wicked' variety. Wicked problems are resistant. Problem formulations and their solutions are contestable. Solutions which have 'worked' in one setting may not 'work' in another, and evidence to guide change is open to challenge. Actions trigger waves with widespread system consequences. In the case of the UK's mental health field significant shifts have taken place in formulations of 'the problem' to which actions have been directed. These have included assessments of community care failure, formulations emphasising problems with the professions and, most recently, the need for action to promote mental health and wellbeing. ConclusionsIn their efforts to secure improvement in a neglected field UK policymakers have unleashed a torrent of top-down actions. Attention needs to be paid to constructing strong, system-wide, partnerships and to examining the cumulative impact of policy actions.

“…Recent publications relating to drugs in this journal and others treat speculations, assumptions and opinion as fact. For example Jones & Gray (2008a,b) have published two papers recently endorsing and promoting (perhaps inadvertently) the drug aripiprazole (abilify) and speculating about potential adverse effects. They state in the introduction of one paper,…”

People with schizophrenia have a significant impaired quality of life. The paper discusses how partial agonists could improve the quality of life with people with schizophrenia in comparison with treatment with second generation antipsychotics. The paper provides a framework as to how mental health nurses can utilize the clinical benefits of partial agonists through greater application of psychosocial interventions.
