Theories for Mental Health Nursing by Theo Stickley

Theories for Mental Health Nursing by Theo Stickley

Theories for Mental Health Nursing is the first textbook to directly address the key theories that inform the study and practice of mental health nursing and health care in the 21st century. Taking a broad approach to mental health, the authors explain why different approaches might be adopted at different times, before going on to show how they should be applied in practice.

′A very useful book covering a comprehensive array of theories′ -- Keith Ford
‘It is important for mental health nurses to be able to consider the various forces and dynamics that might be in play when working with service users and colleagues. This book provides a very useful summary of a range of theories that help do just that and will be of great use and interest to mental health nursing students and many qualified nurses alike.’ -- Alan Simpson
