Focused on the new developments in mental health nursing. Highlights the key issues, new agenda and the developing roles of the mental health nurse. Makes it appealing to the the mental health nurse commencing their training.

This book is really focussed on the needs of mental health nurses, however it also provides a very good supplement resource to the adult nurse who is unfamiliar with mental nursing concepts and practices. The text is well written, relatively easy to understand. The case scenarios are particularly intersting and should stimulate good debate in classroom settings. The other illustrations, tables, graphs used etc are also invaluable in helping the reader to quickly appreciate some of the main themes presented in the text.

Very clear easily read text.

Reflection points are useful additions to the reader.

Recovery perspectives are helful in channelling the readers thinking toward improving the service user experience.

I would be happy to recommend this text to students within the Pre-registration Nursing Course.
It is a useful, well constructed and easy to read resource.

This is a new refreshing text bookthat is clear and easy to undestand. Being a Scot I was pleased to see the inclusion of Scots' law as often this is not refferred to in many mental health nursing books. I liked the review of the theoretical perspective but was bit taken aback with the example homosexuality for aversion therapy. Chpt 3 was really good as in brings many current issues to the forefront. The range of topics covered are broad enough to give the reader a good insight and understanding of ther problems associated with emotional well being.

A very accessible introduction to Mental Health Nursing which is both contemporary and comprehensive in its content. Offers a good grounding in the knowledge base required by the student.

A good all round text for MHN students. Like especially the new ways of working chapter which neatly overviews the complex policy drift in the UK and its impact on the practising MHN. The fact the Scottish context was included - as so many UK texts overlook this - is welcomed. The 'what wil I learn' precursor to each chapter is a good learning, aid in my view.'

To run side by side with Leadership and Management (Level 5) courses. Students would be wise to keep the book within close range. I could not put it down! This book would be helpful to anybody who is working in Mental Ill Health (and some LD) contexts.

I found this to be a most interesting text book, not just for Nursing Students but also for those underataking Level 3/5 Diplomas in Health and Social Care, where receivers of the Care have Mental ill Health. It is set out in a way that vocational learners will appreciate. The book offers theory and competence. Certainly recommended to my HND/HNC students.

Excellent book very student friendly will be highly recommended for students going into mental health nursing. The book provides excellent coverage of many of the skills needed in mental health nursing. Excellent diagrams. Book will be highly recommended

This text, for a module aimed at qualified and experienced clinicians, was useful in helping them to reflect on their practice and develop confidence in the evidence base that supports their therapeutic activity.

For a module aimed at non-mental health professionals, this was a useful and readable text that was able to convey the key points about and needs of the client group to clinicians whose focus is physical care.

Both myself and a number of colleagues consider this an excellent evidence based introductory text for the undergarduate programmes in mental health nursing

This is a very good book for nurses working in the field and offers a different context to problems that arise.
This also covers mental health in a social context and explains that not all problems can be solved.
Instead it offers a more practical 'harm mimization 'approach to work based problems. A good book for any nurse working in the field.

i enjoyed this book particularly the chapters contained all the up to date core work / essential knowledge to understand about the subject area. therefore it provides a basis for the student to have enough understanding in order if they desire to explore areas further. well set out which was easy to follow / read - diagrams and tables used appropriately. book to recommend for my mental health students

Course about to be rewritten for validation in 2012.

A very comprehensive, well written book, simple to understand and extremely relevant to the practice of Mental health nursing. The book is highly recommended as essential to students undertaking the module "Becoming a Mental Health Nurse""

Essential introduction to contemporary Mental Health Nursing. Not only covers the theoretical and policy context within which modern mental health care is situated, but also discusses the practical approaches to a variety of mental health difficulties.

The text contains useful knowledge, contemporary in nature that will be of benefit to those studying mental health.

'This exciting new book for pre-registration students of mental health nursing has a fresh, contemporary feel, and engages the reader throughout with points for reflection and learning. With chapter contributions from an impressive team of leaders in the field this deserves to be widely read and used, and I commend this publication without reservation.'
