title: Epigenetics: An Emerging Framework for Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nursing.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aims of this paper are to synthesize and report research findings from neuroscience and epigenetics that contribute to an emerging explanatory framework for advanced practice psychiatric nursing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Discoveries in neuroscience and epigenetics reveal synergistic mechanisms that support the integration of psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and psychoeducation in practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Advanced practice psychiatric nurses will benefit from an expanded knowledge base in neuroscience and epigenetics that informs and explains the scientific rationale for our integrated practice.
