Tidal
Model
Dr Phil Barker
RN Ph.D. FRCN |
The Tidal Model® is
a philosophical approach to the discovery of
mental health, focused on helping people recover
their personal story of distress, as a first step
towards reclaiming control over their lives.
The Tidal Model
developed, in the mid-1990's, from research into
people's perceptions of their need for
psychiatric nursing and, later, studies of the power
relationship between nurses and the people in their
care. Originally developed as an alternative model of
mental health nursing practice, the
Tidal Model now
finds support within psychiatric medicine, social
work, and psychotherapy. Increasingly, the
Tidal Model
is viewed as an important alternative approach to
helping people use their voices as the key instrument
for charting their recovery from mental distress.
(Extracts from:
Welcome page, Tidal Model website)
Mental health nursing in
the UK has had a poor relationship with nursing
models. The medical model still governs much nursing
practice. However
The Tidal Model
© is gaining significant ground with nurses
adopting this radically new approach to the Best
Practices of mental health nursing. The Tidal Model
is presently being established as the basis of
best nursing practice, across the whole adult mental
health programme in Newcastle, and is being introduced
into selected clinical and teaching setting in
Australia and New Zealand, North America, Finland,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
