Two emerging themes that resulted from research carried out in a special hospital on the use of nursing models are identified. The first theme to emerge was the tendency of the subjects to perceive the models as concrete entities thus undergoing a process of reification. The second theme identified was the adherence to the models outside the contextual nature of the setting which limited their effectiveness. A theoretical framework in which to locate the results of the study is explored using cybernetic learning theory and the notion of hyperreality, using the works of Jean Baudrillard. A method for innovation and changing practice in the special hospital setting is suggested.
In the present work some of the theoretical aspects which qualifies the rehabilitation process are pointed out. The context of rehabilitation should include the social network. The isomorphism between the rehabilitation process and the Batesonian concept of mind like "the pattern which connects" is as well emphasized. In this sense the rehabilitation (as the Batesonian mind) is a process imminent in the various contexts the patients deal with and elaborates the differences between these contexts. According to this view it is useful to refer to the Second Cybernetic epistemological model: the structural coupling between therapeutic system, family and social network is the goal of rehabilitation.
