Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Recent mental health policy has focused on developing community-based services, but the reality remains that patients experiencing acute episodes of illness are mainly cared for in hospital settings. Acute Mental Health Nursing has been developed as a guide to the core knowledge and skills required for working in inpatient settings.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Drawing on the latest developments in policy and planning, this text addresses issues which are specific to working in inpatient settings. It has been designed for use in training and is also a useful source of reference for use in practice.
