This is a text with a winning combination of psychiatric nursing fundamentals, supported by 54 psychiatric care plans that help you address the most commonly encountered behaviors and complexes in mental health nursing. It comes with a handy CD for cut and paste, DSM-IV-TR standard terminology and NANDA nursing diagnoses help you pinpoint a range of disorders using the latest diagnostic criteria.
This text I believe is designed to enhance the effectiveness and improve the communication with both your clients and members of the care team. The book addresses the basic concepts, issues, and interventions that form the foundation for psychiatric practice.

Purchased this publication on the advice of my wife who is a Professor within a Psychiatric Nursing Program for my Forensic In-patient unit. My staff, made up of young and relatively inexperienced nurses have found this book extremely helpful. It is easy to read and its application into the program has been seamless and user friendly. Highly recommended.

a farily useful refresher manual for psychiatric nursing care.It would be more comprhensive if it also include aspects of care which, although physical complenented the displayed mental health symptoms .e.g DEMNTIA PT = HEARING IMPEDIAMENT. what are the steps TO FOLLOW IN THE CARE PLAN FOR THE INTERVENTION . SIMPLE EXAMPLE BUT IF YOU DO NOT KNOWN THE STEPS THEN THIS BOOK IS NOT HELPFUL
