Mental Health Nursing Case Book (Case Book Series) - Softcover

This engaging book consists of 27 case studies which offer a realistic and insightful view into the experience of mental ill-health. A range of mental health problems are considered for people at different stages of the lifespan, from common problems such as anxiety or depression, through to severe and enduring conditions such as schizophrenia.

Part of a new Case Book series, the book is written in an informative and clear style and utilises the latest evidence-based interventions and resources. The approach adopted:

• Incorporates recovery based principles
• Emphasizes the importance of collaborative working
• Values the person’s perspective
• Actively empowers and advocates for the person to make their own decisions and choices

Mental health nurse training involves focusing on working with individuals one-to-one in a range of settings, and this case book will reflect and complement the skills and situations students face while training and on placement.
