This book is very detailed and is perfect for a nursing student, practicing nurse or anyone who is interested in the theories of Crisis Intervention. I still read through the book occasionally to review everything that I have learned and it is a great help just for people in general social service situations. I highly recommend this book.

I purchased this book in used condition for my Crisis Nursing class. Although it is mostly written for the education of a therapist, I was still able to gain some useful knowledge for my profession, as well. It is quite informative and contains some information that is not included in standard psych texts. New diagnoses such as internet addiction is reviewed as well as information on infertility and how it affects one's mental health. Although it is not a typical psychiatric text -- and, by this I mean it does not review standard mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder, etc. -- it does provide a lot of information regarding health problems and how they affect one's mental state. I would recommend this book for someone who is a beginner in the field of psychiatry. I have been a psychiatric nurse for six years and it was pretty much a review for me of stuff I had already learned in nursing school. Lots of case studies included for review.

I am required to purchase this book for a class assignment. The bookstore is out of the book. I am low on cash, and I need the book for psychology 641 at William Carey College. The need for this book gives it a 5 star rating in my book.(smile) I trust the professor; but, he is out of town. The gift certificate will help me purchase the book. I definitely need the book. Thank you for your assistance!
