Book Reviews

"Experienced nurses will gain from the work because it sifts through the evidence and produces readable chapters that explore, but to not diminish, the complexity of practice. Less experienced nurses will find an accessible overview of contemporary mental health practice."
Nursing Standard. May 13 2009

"The chapters range in their consideration from the context of care (history, policy, the individual in their context) to specific 'client problems'. The clinical chapters are written in an accessible style, with key points, a wealth of information and references to research for further reading."
