Product Information
Illustrating the practice that meets the full needs of the patient, this text takes into account the presenting problems and the wider social context.;Psychiatric and mental health nursing tends to be divided into two camps - the medical and the humanist models. A central feature of this book is its emphasis on a new concept of nursing practice called the craft of nursing. The idea of crafting is that treatment of mental health and psychiatric patients is neither a science or an art but a combination of both. It aims to train the nurse to look not only for the medical diagnoses but to recognize the need to complement treatment with other disciplines.;This book should teach the nursing student about the psychiatric nurse about the psychiatric settings where the main aim is to reduce the distress of the patient, and about mental health nursing which tries to help people resolve their problems and adapt to their setting, preempting potential mental health problems.
