Psychiatric and Mental
Health Nursing: The Craft of Caring
The Second Edition of this highly popular
text provides a comprehensive overview of the
practice of psychiatric and mental health nursing,
supported by relevant theory, research, policy and
philosophy.
All too often, the scope of many nursing texts is
limited to a consideration of the contemporary
policy and practice of one particular country. The
UK and the USA have, traditionally, been key
influences on the development of theories and models
of psychiatric practice and such ideas have become
enshrined in books and other publications from these
countries.
However, contemporary ideas regarding mental health
'problems' and mental health 'care' are the subject
of global influence, by theorists, researchers and
practitioners from around the world. In an effort to
acknowledge the 'global' nature of contemporary
mental health care, this book is supported by
authors from 13 countries, who seek to distil the
key principles necessary for the development of good
nursing practice, in any country or culture.
The book is underpinned, ostensibly, by Barker's
concept of "the craft of caring", where the
basis of good nursing practice is considered to be a
combination of both art and science. The concept of
‘craft’ encourages nurses to adopt a holistic
approach to the practice of psychiatric and mental
health nursing, rather than risk being trapped by
technologically limiting approaches to ‘treatment’.
All chapters from the first edition have been completely
updated to reflect recent developments in
nursing practice and the understanding of mental
health disorders. Furthermore, twelve
new chapters have been added, giving greater
emphasis to particular groups such as: children and
young people, women, older people, asylum seekers
and refugees. Additional coverage of specialist
services, such as psychiatric liaison and spiritual
care, has been included, and further emphasis is
given to psychiatric diagnosis and mental health
legislation in relation to human rights.
This book is
widely recognised as an essential text for all
psychiatric and mental health nurses at diploma and
degree level, as well as qualified mental health
nurses seeking to update their knowledge.
The
international nature of the authorship means that
this book will be of use to almost all mental health
nurses within the English-speaking world. It will
also be a useful reference for other disciplines
such as social work, medicine and psychology.
