Reflections on Community Psychiatric Nursing provides new insights into many aspects of the CPN's work. Written by a practising CPN , this is a lively and easy-to-read introduction to the key debates in community mental health, covering issues including:

* teaching, assessment and clinical supervision
* good practice and the concept of risk
* mental health promotion
* user involvement
* treatment, from medication to psychosocial interventions.

This text is essential reading for students and those undertaking further training as CPN's. In addition, practising nurses and other professionals will find it useful in developing their own reflective practice as well as offering a useful overview of an increasingly important area of nursing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Nurses!, 4 April 2002

By A Customer

Although this is a book about Community Psychiatric Nursing, it really should be of interest to anyone interested or working in mental health. It is an entertainingly written and accessible book that would be enjoyed by many people. What makes it particularly readable is that, rather than dealing with the technicalities of psychiatric nursing, it focuses instead on the EXPERIENCE of being a CPN.

'Reflections on Community Psychiatric Nursing' comprises of a large number of articles, written throughout the 1990's and covering a diverse range of topics including sociological aspects of community psychiatric nursing, risk-assessment and risk-taking, newer treatments, and promoting positive mental health. All of these articles are preceded by 'reflections' by the author, which tie them all together and also reassess what is written in light of the current state of community psychiatric nursing and how things may have changed.

I found the articles looking at similarities between CPN's and psychiatric social workers particularly interesting. The chapter on using creativity in mental health should be of interest and very useful to anyone wishing to set up any sort of creative project themselves: It details how Tony set up a music therapy style group - "The Music Workshop Project" - from a small closed group into an international award winning project that has produced its own CD's, showing how others could set up a similar project. Also, the final chapter gives an interesting and detailed account of the use of 'family interventions' in helping people with schizophrenia.

Throughout the whole book runs a strong philosophy of basing mental health services upon the individual needs of patients / clients and the importance of valuing what they want.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really enjoyable & refreshing read from start to finish!, 19 Oct 2003

By	J. Maher (Rochdale , Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I bought this book just before I started my Community Mental Health Placement. I didn't know what to expect. But after the first chapter I was surprised and delighted at the frankness and sheer enjoyment the author has for working with the serious and enduring mental health clients in the community.
The book has some great humour and some great digs at Thatcher and her destructive social policies in the 80's.
Anyone can read this wonderful book you don't have to be into mental health or nursing to enjoy this book.
I have found it a great accompainment on my community placement and overall I've found my own niche in mental health.
