For courses in Mental Health Nursing.
Formerly titled Essentials of Mental Health Nursing, this leading text offers in-depth information in a manageable length as it presents concrete methods to help students develop effective communication, assessment, and intervention techniques. Using the nursing process as the organizational framework-along with numerous clinical examples and nursing care plans-it builds students' confidence in their abilities to turn theory into practice. The underlying theme is the importance of respecting clients' rights to their own values, beliefs, and decisions.
