Holistic overview of mental health for nurses in a practice setting

All nurses play an important role in supporting mental health as part of holistic care provision. This book is designed to help students and novice clinicians to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to care for people across a wide range of specialist and non-specialist practice settings.

Written by a highly experienced team of mental health nursing experts, the book covers all the common mental health conditions nurses are likely to encounter in practice. It provides essential information on assessing for and identifying people experiencing mental illness as well as how to provide appropriate responses, support and referral, across the numerous contexts in which nurses work.

Fully updated and expanded, the sixth edition includes a wealth of lived experience perspectives designed to provide a critical perspective and a way of thinking about the issues more deeply, building empathy and understanding.

  • Describes the foundational principles and core mental health skills required by all nurses

  • Covers how to assess, manage and treat the major mental health problems people commonly experience
  • Provides scenarios for mental health screening, assessment, referral and support across a range of clinical settings
  • Key points, anecdotes, critical thinking exercises, tables and references in every chapter support learning
