The new edition of this popular text offers a clear, straightforward way to understand the often intimidating subject of psychiatric nursing. Its practical, clinical perspective and user-friendly writing style engage the reader in a learning process that both informs and enlightens. Clinical chapters progress consistently and logically from theory to application. Specific psychobiological disorders are organized from moderate to severe along the mental health continuum. The nursing process is the strong, visible framework throughout. * User-friendly writing style and a full-color design make psychiatric nursing content come alive! Case studies and personal stories show a compassion and understanding unique among psychiatric nursing texts. Special features are easily located and identified. * Nursing process framework provides a strong underpinning for all clinical chapters. A sixth step, Outcome Criteria, identifies specific patient outcomes, then justifies the subsequent nursing interventions based on results. * Assessment Guidelines boxes provide summary points for client assessment. * Spiritual assessment is found in Assessment Strategies and the Nursing Process and Care for the Dying and for Those Who Grieve. * Biologic Basis for Understanding Psychotropic Drugs lays the foundation for the study of psychotropic drug therapy to treat psychobiologic disorders.

This is a required book for my Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing course. The book is interesting and provides, the right amount of information I need about mental health nursing...however, I wish the author would have provided more information, linking certain theories to current practice (just a small paragraph). Overall, cheaper to purchase this book over Amazon than the bookstore!
Perfect product and a great price

I ordered this book for my psych nursing class and got it for $20 less than the bookstore price. I wasn't expecting it until around the time my class started in mid January, but received it the day after the proposed ship date, which was great! I would recommend ordering through this venue for sure!
