This paper acknowledges the concept of the unconscious in psychiatric discourse and explores the importance of this for mental health nursing practice. Mental health nursing practice has always been strongly influenced by psychiatric discourse because of its dominance in the clinical setting. The most recent edition of the American Psychiatry Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual has signalled that the concept of the unconscious is re-emerging in psychiatric discourse. This re-emergence provides the opportunity for mental health nurses to re-affirm or develop their psychotherapeutic skills in the nurse-patient relationship. The psychotherapeutic relationship could focus on ways for the patient to find meaning in their lives that recognize and value difference and multiple ways of being.
The social status and gender-role behavior of women has changed periodically over history, depending on a variety of socio-cultural, economic, and religious factors. Classical psychoanalytic views concerning "normal" feminine psychology and sexuality, based on Freud's original postulates were derived from his experiences and observations as a late-19th and early-20th century middle-European male. This article explores the errors involved in these traditional hypotheses concerning "penis envy," "normal" feminine masochism and passivity, female super-ego development and female psychosexuality, including orgasm and gender-role behavior.
