For undergraduate courses in Psychiatric or Mental Health Nursing.

Completely revised as the most up-to-date, evidence-based, culturally competent, authoritative, comprehensive resource available and presented in an accessible, clinically-relevant, professional format.

This textbook has been developed focusing on two central themes, evidence-based nursing practice and global mental health

Supporting and interactive material can be found on the companion website and CD-ROM.

Hallmark Characteristics:

Biological basis serves as foundation
Emphasizes family, community, and patient education
Strong on spirituality, complementary and alternative care, and cultural competence
Using Research Evidence feature helps students evaluate and apply research
Critical Thinking Challenges based on case studies

Critical Thinking Challenge

Begins of each chapter presents a brief, care-based scenario that challenges students to analyze an issue or an assertion related to the chapter topic. Questions that follow stimulate critical thinking. Analysis and discussion points for the Critical Thinking Challenge appear in the Instructor’s Resource Manual accompanying this text.

Evidence-Based Practice

In addition to a full chapter devoted to evidence-based psychiatric–mental health nursing practice (Chapter 4), each chapter includes a clinical vignette illustrating how research evidence shapes the plan of care for a particular client. Critical thinking questions follow each vignette.

Culture Awareness

icons call your attention to the significant impact of cultural heritage on the manifestation of mental disorders and responses to treatment, issues of mental health disparity, and the importance of developing cultural competence in psychiatric—mental health care.

Partnering with Clients and Families

boxes emphasize the value of including the family in psychiatric–mental health care. Families play important role in the treatment of a family member. Understanding the characteristics of the disorder and how it may arise during family interactions improves the client’s ability to function and make family life more comfortable. This feature provides key topics to discuss with families.

Caring for the Spirit boxes

reinforce the belief in the interconnection of mind, body, and spirit. They appear throughout the book and are designed to promote the understanding of the client’s essence, meaning, and purpose in life, as well as the nurse’s role in supporting spirituality.

DSM-IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria

includes the most current diagnostic criteria from the APA 2000 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) in each of the disorders chapters in Unit Four

Nursing Care Plans and related Concept Maps are included in the chapters dealing with specific disorders.

They represent two ways to view care for clients diagnosed with specific mental disorders according to the DSM-IV-TR, fostering critical thinking and analysis for students with different learning styles.
