- Summary:
- The Handbook of Community Mental Health Nursing brings together authoritative contributions from leading mental health researchers, educators and practitioners to provide a comprehensive text for community mental health nurses in training and practice. In thirty-three chapters it covers a wide range of topics, from the history of the profession to current approaches to specific client groups. Each chapter includes a summary of key points and suggestions for further reading. The book also includes useful appendices listing key professional and voluntary organisations, journals, internet sites and mailing lists. The Handbook of Community Mental Health Nursing reflects the diversity and scope of the role of the CMHN and recognises the multidisciplinary and service user context in which nurses work. An essential text for CMHNs and mental health nurse educators, it also offers a useful source of reference for allied professionals.
