Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing: The Craft of Caring
No Customer Reviews
Psychiatric and mental health nursing tends to be divided into two camps - that of the medical model and that of the humanist model. A central feature this book is its emphasis on a new concept of nursing practice called the craft of nursing. The idea of 'crafting' is that treatment of mental health and psychiatric patients is neither a science or an art but a combination of both. It trains the nurse to look not only for the medical diagnosis but emphasises the need for nurses to complement treatment with other disciplines too. This groundbreaking textbook teaches the nursing student about the psychiatric nurse settings where the main aim is to reduce distress of the patient, and about mental health nursing which tries to help people to resolve their problems and adapt to their setting thereby preempting potential mental health problems.
