restored dignity. This does not mean that nurses should adopt an ‘anything goes’ attitude towards patients’ behaviour. Rather, they should – together with the patient – strive to reflect on what patients communicate and on what meaning patients ascribe to their suffering. Furthermore, being present with suffering patients is indeed a challenge, in which nurses are confronted not only with patients’ afflictions but also with their own reactions. This calls for peer support, rather than critique. Encountering suffering can be a painful and frightening experience, but nurses must have the courage to stay with the patient and at the same time evaluate potential risks to their own and the patient’s safety. One way to deal with situations like this is for the nurses to narrate their experience of the patients’ behaviour, i.e. crying or threatening, without questioning it. Instead a true interest, manifested as an effort to understand the patient’s experience and courage to confirm feelings, is awoken in the nurse. REFERENCES Bowen, M. & Mason, T. (2012).

The preservation of order: Role of the Nurse in Forensic Psychiatry Sinisa Franjic* Faculty of Law, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe Introduction Motivations of APNs (Advanced Practice Nurses) who serve as advocates for their patients stem from various ethical vantage points, and should be examined self-reflectively as interventions are developed and evaluated [1]. From a deontological perspective, principles such as justice, beneficence, and autonomy are served by advocating for more resources for the poor and vulnerable. From a teleological view, APNs can work for ends such as policy options that result in improved health care and successful social and economic skills. APNs can recognize their own feelings (sympathy and empathy) for vulnerable patients as the ethic of care prescribes, and their character traits and those of their clients as virtue ethics expects. On the broader scale, nurses may act from concern about the community’s health (communitarianism) and with assessments that distinguish characteristics of each case (casuistry). Any or all of these ethical benchmarks may be selected by nurses to determine actions that are appropriate for use with their patients, families, and communities. People’s views and subjective experience of their illness, disability or condition may be very different to those of a nurse involved in their care or treatment [2]. There may be very important differences in the values underpinning the beliefs and actions of the various individuals, including professionals, and processes involved when the law is being used. This makes mental health nursing significantly different to nursing people with physical health problems. This can be viewed as a positive asset for mental health nurses because it means the process of decision-making and caring for people is potentially a more inclusive, holistic process, by incorporating a range of different values (including those underpinning the law) and points of views including service users, family carers and other practitioners. In order to live well together, we must have reasonable expectations about the conduct of others [3]. Those expectations are grounded on proprieties of practice, adherence to which requires us to have moral and emotional capacities that enable responsiveness to others’ rights and needs. Capacities such as empathy, a sense of justice, care and concern, prudence, an interest in making and keeping promises, and, more generally, dispositions that connect us to others can prevent social anomie. Even the visceral capacity to feel disgust at scenes of brutality and suffering is essential to our sense of community. People who lack these capacities frighten us, and for good reasons: they are unpredictable, strange, threatening. People who are labeled psychopathic, generally present us with a difficult choice: to exclude them from our community or to render their threatening character harmless. Mental Disorder and Mental Illness Mental disorder represents the main point of contact between psychiatry and the law [4]. The early days of psychiatry in the nineteenth century were heavily influenced by eugenic considerations – it was assumed that a variety of deviant conducts could be explained by a tainted gene pool in the lower social classes. This degeneracy theory, which characterized early biological *Corresponding author: Sinisa Franjic, Faculty of Law, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe.
