3. Publication of Commonsense Psychiatry

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The National Mental Health Act of 1946 is probably the most significant piece of legislation
affecting the development of psychiatricmental health nursing. Within this act, psychiatric nursing was added to
psychiatry, psychology, and social work as a field in which the highest priority became the preparation of
clinically capable persons for positions of leadership. Commonsense Psychiatry, written by Adolf Meyer, had
great impact on psychiatry; however, it did not have a noticeable influence on psychiatric nursing. Nursing for
the Future eliminated single-focus schools of psychiatric nursing. The Community Mental Health Centers Act
of 1963 encouraged the closing of large mental hospitals and further encouraged the trend toward expanded
nursing roles at the graduate level.
