The corporate construction of psychosis and the rise of the psychosocial paradigm: Emerging implications for mental health nurse education

- The biomedical paradigm is implicated in the corporate construction of psychosis with the pharmaceutical industry.
- There are major conceptual and empirical problems with this construction.
- The psychosocial paradigm changes the meaning of psychosis within recovery and provides values- and evidence-based alternative interventions.
- This places a demand on mental health nurse education internationally to take a moral lead in revising its curricular and pedagogic practises.
