I feel sure this book will be of considerable benefit to undergraduate nursing students and to qualified nurses engaged in professional development activities. I also believe the book is necessary reading for those who train our nursing workforce.”

Mental Health Nursing
What are the foundations of mental health nursing as a practice discipline? What interventions do mental health nurses draw upon? How can mental health nurses engage clients as partners in care and promote their recovery?
Mental health nursing is an art and a science; concerned with both the therapeutic relationship between nurse and client and the skills required for evidence-based practice. Nurses need to find ways of integrating both these elements to meet service users’ demands and policy directives for mental health services. This book provides an integrative account of mental health nursing, which incorporates its knowledge base and the practical skills required by nurses to meet the demands of national healthcare policy and service users’ expectations. Pedagogy to support readers includes chapter overviews and summary points, questions for reflection, annotated bibliographies, and fascinating case studies and service users’ views to illustrate everyday clinical situations.Essential reading for students, post-qualification mental health nurses and nurse lecturers.
