Format:Paperback
I teach in both RN and Psych Tech Programs in the state of California, and I can tell you that this book makes an excellent text when studying the field of Pyschiatry. It is an excellent book for those persons entering the field of Nursing or Mental Health. Not only does the book define classic mental conditions such as schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, obsessive/compulsive disorders and all the other basic mental disorders, it also allows for the "theraputic use of self" when the student encounters someone who is in need of an individualized interpersonal response. A person can only go so far utilizing a Nursing Care Plan; the art of Psych Nursing is one that is discovered daily and under many unique and challenging conditions. This book serves as a valuable guiding light; it is a book for reference, and a great scientific base to all things Psych.Critical Thinking excersises are also included, which will help the student prepare for the State Board Exams that they are all heading towards passing this exam as their goal.I think that this book added to any Psych cirriculum will be a golden touch to the program it seeks to help.This text also defines medications used to treat mental disorders, gives pharmacologic overviews and precautions.Newer psych diagnosis, such as "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which generally belongs in the teen patients is discussed on page 468 and makes for some interesting reading.One possible outcome that may result as a by-product of studying this text is that one may "diagnose" persons in their life that are not "patients."Thus the borderline diagnosis line of disorders can be the basis of much controversy at times.Get this book - read it - study it - use it as a reference and it will open up the world of Modern Psychiatry for you in ways that you will appreciate and value.
