Now with an exciting 4-color design, this core text continues to present succinct coverage of psychiatric-mental health nursing, emphasizing critical concepts in the continuum of care settings, client and family education and student self-awareness. This edition features two new chapters: “Student Issues and Concerns” and “Loss, Grief and End of Life Care.” The Sixth Edition also maintains popular features from previous editions including Self Awareness Prompts while adding research boxes and student worksheets at the end of each chapter.

A back-of-book CD-ROM includes NCLEX questions, clinical simulations on schizophrenia and depression, and monographs on psychotropic drugs. The ancillary package includes an Instructor’s Resource CD-ROM.
