Product Description
Product Description
Review of first edition:
"Although there are a number of books of this nature, this book is clearly in a superior league, and is presented in a format which is easily read and accessible…It is very difficult to find criticism with this book as it serves to explore countless aspects providing a wealth of research, case studies and current policies and service provision… A must for all students."
Mental Health Practice
"Editors Ian Norman and Iain Ryrie are to be congratulated for putting together a book that covers the diversity of mental health nursing. The contributors offer a range of theoretical perspectives. The coverage is comprehensive and the book is very readable. This book will appeal to students of mental health nursing, qualified practitioners and nurse educators. Managers will also find it a useful reference."
Alister Campbell, Nurse Consultant, Bucknall Hospital, Staffordshire.
"A few [chapters] stand out: the chapter on law and ethics deals with difficult issues around compulsory detention and human rights in a clear and helpful way. And the chapter on physical health and serious mental health concisely brings together a large body of information ... I would recommend this book as an adjunct to other books on mental health nursing."

This book is ideal as a reference book for anyone doing mental health nurse training. It provides a good overview of everything you need to know throughout the course. If you're only going to buy one book buy this one!
Superb book with a wealth of knowledge and thought. A brilliant encyclopedia of everything needed to experience the highs of working with people with mental health problems. What is not here is the history, why we are where we are. I think the history explains so many of the answers to our thoughts about illnesses and treatments today. Have a look at a book that provides the other side of the coin. Stuart Townsend Author of Asylum Bound Asylum Bound
As a Third year student months away from becoming a qualified I highly recommend this book I bought it in my first year and still find this extremally useful. My copy is dogeared and full of 'post it' notes, I love this book it has helped me in every assignment even my dissertation (Liturature review and change management assignment). If you only buy one book in the intire three years of training let it be this one.
Good Luck
