Written in a student-friendly style, this comprehensive text, and leading resource in the field of mental health nursing, emphasizes effective communication skills, details cultural considerations, and presents mental health disorders within a systematic organizational framework using the nursing process.

This review is from: Mental Health Nursing (6th Edition) (Paperback)
I like the language of the book, it's easy to follow and it keeps you engage by giving you real life scenarios. I feel it's missing a few terminology terms in the text, but overall a good book.
