Stuart & Sundeen's Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing has become the leading psychiatric nursing text for undergraduate students. This popularity is due to its comprehensive coverage of important nursing and medical concepts, the widely-used stress-adaptation framework, a biopsychosocial approach that stresses the mental health continuum and strong, current coverage of psychobiology and psychopharmacology reflecting the contemporary biological emphasis in psychiatry. Dr. Michele Laraia, a recognised nursing expert on psychobiology and psychopharmacology, joins Dr. Stuart as new co-author on the sixth edition. The sixth edition preserves its proven approach and expands upon it with new chapters on managed care, care in the home, and the family's perspective. The clinical chapters on depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia and substance abuse have been revised to include all medical diagnostic categories. New multimedia references have been added at the end of chapters, including Related Mosby Videos and Your Internet Connection, which lists the most helpful Web sites that students and faculty can access on the Internet.

Psychiatric Nursing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing (Hardcover)
This is a great textbook. Very informative without being boring. Includes personal reports from patients, families, and experienced nurses. Each chapter concludes with a short quiz to help focus on the main points. Includes assessment tools such as the Mini Mental Status Exam. Perfect for beginners. This book is a refreshing balance of educational and enjoyable reading.

Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing, 9e (Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing (Stuart)) (Hardcover)
Clearly presented material in an organized manner. Examples of Communication techniques and Care Plan options are useful for students. Medication information can be found in chapters covering the diagnosis (ie: antidepressants and mood stabilizers in Mood Disorder chapter) as well as the chapter on Psychopharmacology.

2.0 out of 5 stars
not very good,
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing, 8e (Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing (Stuart)) (Hardcover)
This book seems like a lot of BS. I got an A and I hardly used it. The stories written by actual nurses are long and boring and the patients described don't seem to have improved much. As it says on p. 191, "In fact, very few well-designed psychiatric nursing studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of psychiatric nursing care."
