title: The Tao, social constructionism and psychiatric nursing practice and research.
abstract: For the reader who is more accustomed to the standard form of academic papers, it seemed necessary to prepare the ground for a more discursive presentation that does not follow the conventions of, for example, using the third person or summarizing the paper initially. If conventions are simply customs agreed amongst people then the academic 'form' can be put in parentheses for this paper, for this journal, for...?-'...Scholarly Dissertations contain no more of the character of Taoist wisdom than does the typical wax museum' (Hoff 1982, p. 26).
