Opis

This book offers a systematic overview of both the science and the art of caring for people experiencing mental health problems. It addresses the attitudes, knowledge, and skills required to provide care for service users across all healthcare settings, from specialist mental health services to general hospitals and community care. The authors place the service user at the center of all aspects of mental health care, and emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of good mental health nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on the role of the nurse as an intrinsic member of the mental health team, and nurses are encouraged to think critically about the perspectives that they bring to their practice. The second edition has been fully revised and updated, with increased focus on Indigenous social and emotional well-being, as well as two new chapters on Recovery and Cultural Safety.This is amust-have book for undergraduate nursing students, new graduates, and professionals changing specialties or simply wishing to refresh their mental health nursing knowledge."
