This comprehensive text offers a unique perspective on the needs of clients with psychiatric disorders. Its fresh and innovative approach is designed to help practitioners understand their clients so they can provide humanistic health care and disease treatment. Current issues in psychiatric mental health nursing affect the care of clients: health care reform, shorter inpatient stays, psycho biology, community care, and technology. The text offers a framework for dealing with these issues while providing a high level of care. The real-life experiences of clients with psychiatric disorders are presented through excerpts from literature, movie clips, and classic art. Special client populations are addressed: the physically ill client; the homeless and incarcerated; the child; the adolescent; the elderly; and survivors of violence or abuse. Emphasis on the art and science of nursing; art through the use of humanities (literary excerpts, movie clips), and science through the theoretical and eepidemiological base underlying disorders.

Review
'The stories, poems, art, etc. help students get a clearer understanding of the plight of the mentally ill. It also addresses the problem of differences in learning styles. Some students may learn more effectively by reading the stories; whereas, another student may learn more effectively by looking at the artwork, watching the movies, or reading poems. - Lola Lehman, MSN, RN, Southeast Missouri State University

4.0 out of 5 stars
This text is actually interesting,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing (Hardcover)
If you are a nursing student, you know what I mean when I say we have to read a lot of dry material. This book is the exception. The information is presented in a way that makes the reading just flow. Some of my fellow students agree that it is the kind of thing they would read even if it were not assigned. It contains examples from art and literature and that illustrate mental health disorders.
