Mental health care provision can be complex and the approach the
carer uses can have a detrimental effect on the health of the
person being cared for. Caring for Adults with Mental
Health Problems provides the reader with many examples of
thoughts, ideas and perspectives in a user-friendly, easily
accessible format. The chapters are divided into discrete sections
reflecting contemporary care approaches.
Reference to care in a range of primary and secondary care
settings is made throughout the book. Each chapter provides the
reader with a clear and concise approach to health care,
encouraging the reader to understand and delve deeper. Written by
contributors who are experienced clinicians and academics with many
years of clinical and academic experience in various health care
settings, this text is based upon the principles of care, a
foundation text that encourages the student to grow and
develop.
Caring for Adults with Mental Health Problems is a
practice-based handbook or manual that has a sound evidence basis,
and one that will challenge and encourage the student to develop a
questioning approach to care. The text is designed to be used as a
reference book by a variety of readers in either the clinical
setting, classroom or at home, in statutory or non-statutory
surroundings.
