Psychiatric nursing

by Norman L. Keltner

Psychiatric nursing covers the latest trends and treatments and provides the solid, real-world foundation you need to provide safe and effective psychiatric nursing care. It features a staightforward approach that uses a unique model of psychotherapeutic management, made up of three components: (1) the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, (2) psycho-pharmacology, and (3) milieu management. Practical learning tools such as nursing care plans, case studies, clinical examples, author tips, study notes, and critical thinking questions help you understand and learn how to apply concepts to the real world of psychiatric nursing.
