A detailed study of acute mental health nursing and patient activity, this book explores such areas as: how recent cases of mentally ill people committing violent offences have fuelled public anxiety; the chequered history of community care policy; why, despite the introduction of Project 2000 in 1989, nurse education problems continue; job satisfaction and the lack of it; the difficulties with primary nursing; clinical supervision; the barriers to effective management and leadership; the changed nature of nurses' professional relationships, particularly with medical staff; patient care, assessment, care plans, nursing interventions and the Care Programme Approach (APA); and discharge and aftercare.
