Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

Written for a one-semester psychiatric-mental health nursing course at both two- and four-year institutions, for students specialising in psychiatric nursing and for other health disciplines. It pairs evidence-based practice with concrete communication strategies so students can build a therapeutic relationship with a patient and their caregivers, organised thematically rather than as a list of disorders.
