Details: Designed specifically to guide beginning nursing students to successful psychiatric and mental health nursing practice, Essentials of Psychiatric Nursing, 3rd Edition, delivers an easy-to-use, evidence-based approach to basic mental health concepts, effective therapeutic communication tactics, and proven nursing strategies for the care of patients with mental illnesses. This current, concise text is packed with examples and explanations that hone students’ self-awareness and patient interaction skills, highlight the impact of stigma, and familiarize students with effective recovery approaches to common mental health problems and disorders.

Ideal for dedicated psychiatric nursing courses or for integrating psychiatric nursing principles into an existing course, the 3rd Edition has been extensively revised and updated throughout to reflect the latest research and treatment approaches, including coverage of the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, care for the veteran population and military families, and expanded coverage of nursing care outside the hospital and in the community.
