Required for my nursing school. This book is very in depth and is a good study book.

This book was required by my psychiatric nursing professor. I used it to study for the tests, but it lacks information. It's very organized, but sometimes the concepts that were trying to explain were very short and left me hanging, because I didn't grasp it.

Another thing that I didn't like, was that that it DOES NOT include the treatment of the disorders, it does include how to act around the person. Like for example, for delusional patients, if the patient says: " I know this sounds bizzarre" then the client's condition is better... or stuff like that. I had to search the internet or the professor handouts for treatments. Also, It DOES NOT include the American Psychiatric Association recommendations of every illness which is very important in nursing.

If your teacher requires it, ya gotta have it. It is OK, no better or worse than most textbooks.

Book was in never-been-used quality, and the CD was included. Shipping was fast, too.

I like the way everything is handle,it,s very profesional,I definitely recomend the site to make orders.
