I was surprised by the article, “How to collaborate effectively with psychiatric nurse practitioners” (Current Psychiatry, November 2012, p. 49-53; http://bit.ly/1QTTtkK). Although I found the article informative and appreciated the accurate description of psychiatric nurse practitioners’ education and scope of practice, I was confused by the article’s artwork that displayed a dominant male—presumably the physician—pointing a pen toward a somewhat cowering female. Because a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m hopeful this was not seen as a reasonable way to “collaborate” with psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners.
