FROM THE PUBLISHER
This fifth edition of Psychiatric Nursing continues to set the standard for
psychiatric mental health nursing practice established with the publication of
its first edition in 1979. The authors have written this book with three points
in mind: These are complex and changing times in our field of knowledge and
practice; psychiatric mental health nurses must be prepared with critical
thinking and clinical judgment skills to address clients with dual diagnoses and
comorbidities, and to work effectively in community-based as well as hospital
settings; and comprehensive and contemporary theory and processes are best
learned when presented in a clear, clinically relevant style.
