Dual Diagnosis Nursing by G Hussein Rassool
Dual Diagnosis Nursing The increasing number of individuals with co-existing substance misuse and psychiatric disorders presents a key challenge to mental health and addiction nurses. This practice-based text focuses on the management and intervention strategies to effectively meet the needs of this client group in both community and residential settings. Dual Diagnosis Nursing is a comprehensive text for practitioners on contemporary approaches to working with dual disorder and dual diagnosis patients. It explores both clinical and theoretical perspectives in a variety of different care and treatment settings, addressing key issues such as needs of special populations, multi-dimensional assessment, dealing with emergencies, prescribing and medication management, nursing and psychological interventions, spiritual needs, carers' interventions and professional development.
"This is the most comprehensive dual diagnosis textbook I've readTwo things in particular appealed to me. Firstly, it is set out for easy reference in five parts... The second thing that struck me as valuable is the way the book has something for everyone.
General substance misuse staff and those in mental health will derive great benefit from the book. If you're a specialist in dual diagnosis, I think you will too.
It may be short in detail for some readers but as an overview of the subject, for students and qualified alike, it delivers."
