This chapter begins by introducing wellbeing theory and ranges from Aristotle’s ideas about eudaimonia, through the positive psychology conceptions of Seligman and colleagues, to contemporary preoccupations with happiness, wellbeing and flourishing. It then outlines the findings of a systematic literature review conducted by the author, exploring the question: what is wellbeing and how is it relevant to mental health nursing? The findings are presented under five main thematic headings: wellbeing as a nebulous, multifaceted notion, physical wellbeing as a legitimate concern, psychosocial wellbeing for mental health nurses (MHNs), the psychosocial wellbeing of MHNs and finally spiritual wellbeing (MHNs as spiritual allies.) These findings are revisited and discussed in depth in Chap. 9, which also makes recommendations based upon this discussion.
