Description
I recommend this book to students beginning their education in mental health nursing. Its major achievement is showing how the material and knowledge in it 15 chapters may be transferred to real-life clinical settings.
Kevin Gournay, Emerirtus Professor of Psychiatric Nursing, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London

This is a comprehensive and reader friendly text that offers students a great introduction and insight into the modern world of mental health nursing. The quotes from students and practical activities engage the reader and enhance application of theory to clinical practice and educational development. Students will benefit from the guidance and support this book offers to complement their nurse education.
Lisa King, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing, The University of Chester, UK

Full of insights into what its like to be a mental health nursing student, including direct quotes from current students!
