Kathleen Delaney's article in Archives [19(3) 2005, June] entitled “The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner 1993–2003: A Decade That
Unsettled a Specialty” was, in itself, worth an entire year's subscription fee! An
even better bargain because one can receive this stellar journal as a benefit of an
ISPN membership. The outstanding quality of Dr. Delaney's work is what readers familiar
with her work have come to expect. The information was laudably comprehensive, clearly
organized, and presented with her insightful comments to guide readers, unfamiliar
and familiar, through the morass of this complex issue and implications of the impact
on our specialty area.
