title: Italian ideals.
abstract: Many reports have been published in the UK about the reform movement in the Italian mental health system, but there has been a relative dearth of information on the practice of psychiatric nursing. Here the author reflects on differences and similarities with Italian colleagues and calls for greater dialogue between psychiatric nurses in the two countries.
