Infos

The increasing number of individuals with co-existing substance
misuse and psychiatric disorders presents a key challenge to mental
health and addiction nurses. This practice-based text focuses on
the management and intervention strategies to effectively meet the
needs of this client group in both community and residential
settings.

Dual Diagnosis Nursing is a comprehensive text for
practitioners on contemporary approaches to working with dual
disorder and dual diagnosis patients. It explores both clinical and
theoretical perspectives in a variety of different care and
treatment settings, addressing key issues such as needs of special
populations, multi-dimensional assessment, dealing with
emergencies, prescribing and medication management, nursing and
psychological interventions, spiritual needs, carers'
interventions and professional development.

Rezensionen

"This is the most comprehensive dual diagnosis textbook I've read.
Two things in particular appealed to me. Firstly, it is set out for
easy reference in five parts... The second thing that struck me as
valuable is the way the book has something for everyone.

General substance misuse staff and those in mental health will
derive great benefit from the book. If you're a specialist in dual
diagnosis, I think you will too.

It may be short in detail for some readers but as an overview of
the subject, for students and qualified alike, it delivers."
