This is an excellent contemporary text and a must read for student all mental health nurses and those who are currently practicing in mental health. Amongst its many strengths are the critical and philosophical perspectives that provides excellent insights.
Who would have thought the second edition of Essentials of Mental Health Nursing could better the original? Chock full of excellent case studies, infused even more with the voice of those with lived experience, and highly interactive. The book really gets to the nub of what is essential in mental health nursing and will appeal to students and registered nurses alike. Beg, steal, or borrow a copy, you won’t be disappointed!
Very accessible and thoughtful text that conceptualises ,mental health nursing and invites student nurses to explore and examine different perspectives of contemporary mental health care. Excellent contribution from a range of clinical and academic writers.
