[Nursing activities in tne field of mental health].

It's not uncommon to hear complaints about the lack of speciafication of nursing interventions in Mental Health. Now a-days, with the emphasis given to multiprofessional work systems in that area, those complaints have increasead due to the belief that the system's efficiency also depends on the knowledge that each professional has about his share. Literature and this belief support us in offering a proposal of nurse's specific activities covering mental health approaches. We hope our contribution will help nurses to improve their participation when assisting clients.
