Hildegard Peplau developed the first systematic theoretic framework in psychiatric nursing. Harriet Bailey wrote the first psychiatric nursing text, Nursing Mental Diseases. Gwen Tudor (Will) was the first nurse to publish an article in the journal Psychiatry. While the last three nurses made significant contributions, the title of "first American psychiatric nurse," falls to Linda Richards.
