Medicines are the most common form of treatment for those with
mental health problems worldwide. Medicines Management in Mental
Health Care is the first detailed evidence-based medicines
management text for mental health practitioners in the UK.
Medicines Management in Mental Health Care is divided into
two parts. Part one provides mental health nurses and other mental
health workers with a detailed understanding of the evidence-base
for medicines management covering subjects including psychotropic
medication and co-morbidity. Part two addresses the practical
implications for clinical practice and provides vital guidance on
prescribing and medicines management, working with service users,
treatment adherence, evaluation skills and problem solving as well
as specific advice relating to the realities of practice.
Medicines Management in Mental Health Care is an essential
resource for mental health nurses and mental health
practitioners.
