Psychiatric Nursing - Softcover

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING features a reader-friendly approach to psychiatric nursing, focusing on the therapeutic skills expected of the psychiatric nurse. The psychotherapeutic management model, comprising three components-the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, psychopharmacology, and milieu management-is the framework of the book, presented in a clear writing style with an understandable approach. The psychotherapeutic management model takes a practical, clinical approach to nursing by integrating clinical realities with the theory taught in nursing schools, emphasizing those duties for which nurses are primarily responsible.
