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.
