This practical and highly accessible workbook allows students and practitioners-in-training to gain the skills and knowledge needed in order to conduct a comprehensive psychiatric mental status examination. This rich selection of pedagogical content, which includes case studies, activities, chapter glossaries, and study questions, reinforces the terms and concepts that are related to key assessment areas. Each chapter functions as a distinct unit and allows readers to pick and choose relevant material, and lays the groundwork to help clinicians effectively assess patients for potential psychopathology, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and psychosis.

Written at an introductory level, the Fundamentals of the Psychiatric Mental Status Examination is an essential tool for students in health, nursing, occupational therapy, and social work programs, as well as any specialist employed in the areas of mental health and addiction.

Cheryl Webster Pollard is an Associate Dean and Assistant Professor in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program at MacEwan University. She has held positions as a mental health clinical nurse specialist and nurse researcher, and has also held progressive leadership positions within community and tertiary care settings.
