Abstract

This exciting new book offers a contemporary manual for the mental health nurse within a mental health care system that is increasingly focused on recovery. Mental Health Nursing incorporates recent policy changes that place a greater emphasis on person-centred and social caring, whilst retaining a strong evidence base. The holistic, skills-based approach helps the student and the beginning practitioner to understand the complex causation of mental illness, its diagnosis, effective interventions and treatments, and the client’s experience of mental illness.

  • Broad, yet in-depth, examination of the essential features of contemporary mental health nursing practice
  • A manual for practice - a skills-based approach provides clear guidance to novices on how to complete essential mental health nursing roles
  • ‘Critical Thinking Challenges’ based on Case Histories provide a realistic context
  • ‘Nurse’s Stories’ explore the reality of mental health nursing care
  • On-line resources guide the reader to reflect upon the essential content and ideas contained within each chapter
