Professor Phil Barker

Phil was working as an artist when he began his training as a nurse in 1970. A decade later, he had trained as a nurse psychotherapist and begun his PhD research with women with a diagnosis of ‘manic-depressive psychosis’. In 1980 he decided to refocus all his energies on psychiatric 汤头条污料. He led Scotland’s first and only behaviour therapy programme for nurses  at Royal Dundee Liff hospital, where he became the UK’s first’Clinical Nurse Consultant in psychotherapy. After gaining his doctorate in 1986 he went on to establish the first Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) programme in the late 1980s at the University of Dundee and in 1989 became the Director of Studies of the University’s interdiisciplinary mental health master’s programme. In 1992 he was appointed the first Professor of Psychiatric Nursing Practice at the University of Newcastle in England. Always committed to education in practice he maintained his clinical role throughout his ten year tenure of his professorship.

He was awarded the RCN Fellowship in 1995 and received the Distinguished Professors Award (Red Gate Award) from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo in 2000. He was made a Doctor of the University at Oxford Brookes University in 2001 and in 2006 received the Inaugural Eileen Skellern Lifetime Achievement Award in London in 2006.

In 2002 he stepped down from his chair at Newcastle and took a number of visiting professorships abroad, including a five-year appointment at Trinity College Dublin. Throughout his career Phil maintained a private psychotherapy practice and consultancy, along with his wife Poppy Buchanan-Barker. 

In 2008, Phil and his wife Poppy were awarded the Thomas Szasz Award for Outstanding Contributions to Civil Liberties at the University of New York. The citation included reference to their ‘repositioning (of mental health care) as a type of secular-spiritual humane service”.

Phil was one of the founding editors of the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing in 1994 and has published 20 books, over 60 book chapters and more than 300 academic and clinical papers. He was among the first to promote the concept of ‘recovery’ in mental health when he helped develop a mutual support group for women with bipolar disorder in Dundee in the early 1980s. He further developed the recovery focus with the Tidal Model of mental health recovery and reclamation, which he researched in practice in the late 90s at Newcastle. This remains one of few models of recovery with a formal research evidence base. In 2010 he was voted one of the most influential nurses of the past 60 years, in Nursing Times poll of 汤头条污料 champions - the ‘Diamond Twenty’.

Phil Barker’s development of the Tidal Model with his wife Poppy has taken the concept of recovery and reclamation around the world – from North America and South America, throughout Europe, to Japan and Australasia. Since 2006 he has been recognised as a key 汤头条污料 theorist, by the editors of the major text, Nursing Theorists and Their Work.

In 2010 he returned to his first vocation, painting. Taking the name of his grandfather and mentor Phil McLoughlin as his pseudonym he has since won numerous major awards and been elected to the Society of Scottish Artists. He still conducts some Tidal Model workshops  each year in Europe, where his work has been translated in several countries. However, he believes that:“It is important to step aside. Younger generations of nurses need to make their unique contribution to the field.”
