(1 reviews) Author: Carol Ren Kneisl ISBN : 9780132557771 New from $56.94 Format: PDFCONTEMPORARY PSYCHIATRIC-MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, 3/e is the most up-to-date, evidence-based, culturally competent, authoritative, and comprehensive resource for psychiatric-mental health nursing. The authors emphasize the importance of empathy and client empowerment, while providing the knowledge and clinical competence that psychiatric-mental health nurses can use to help diverse clients heal on both psychobiologic and spiritual levels. They prepare students to tailor and humanize interventions for traditional as well as “new” psychiatric-mental health clients encountered in forensic settings, homeless shelters, and in other community and rehab settings. Since advances in neuroscience and genetics are redefining the scientific understanding of mental disorders, the authors offer a solid grounding in psychobiology, including brain imaging assessment and new psychopharmacologic treatment options. This edition adds a full chapter on Recovery and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Strategies, and many new boxed features showing how psychiatric disorders are portrayed in the news and movies.

Contemporary Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing PDF
I really like the way that this book is set up mainly by area of concern in mental health... I'm giving it 4/5 stars because the chapters really should be ordered a bit differently... Seriously, ch 7 and then ch 31 are pharmacology? How does that make sense?By Morbidly-Yours
Anyways- the material is really interesting and there are a lot of cool outside sources brought it. It's definitely a great book for psych nursing.
Would recommend. Get the kindle version if you can- this book is pretty big.
