title: Biological psychiatry and psychiatric nursing in America.
abstract: First psychiatry and then psychiatric nursing have moved into an era of psychobiology. In many cases, psychiatric nurses are leaving behind their appreciation of the mind-body-brain connection in favor of a purely biological approach to the etiology and treatment of mental illness. This article is an attempt to show the interrelatedness of these concepts and includes a clinical case example of an "endogenously" depressed man who was treated for a period of 15 years.
