With a dual theme of psychobiology and human interactionism (caring), this book offers comprehensive, authoritative and contemporary coverage of psychiatric nursing practice. New chapters on eating disorders, rape, intra-family violence, co-dependency, and suicide have been added to bring this Fourth Edition completely up-to-date. In addition, the drug section has been greatly expanded and highlights drugs separately in an appendix.
Great book. But, I am surprised to find it listed here on this site. I assumed that goodreads would only cover non-academic books, but I am glad they are showing more variety
