Following in the footsteps of the ground breaking first edition, this fully updated new edition provides "a comprehensive overview of the science and 'art' of mental health nursing from an Australian and New Zealand perspective".

A strong focus on evidence-based practice, client focus, and consumer participation is evident throughout, and the conversational writing style and nurses' real experiences highlight the realities of practice within the context of psychiatric care.

Mental wellness is featured as a concept, and the consideration of a range of psychosocial factors helps students contextualise mental illness and psychiatric disorders. The holistic approach aids the understanding of the complex casuations, diagnoses, intervention and treatments, and the client's experience of mental illness.
