"[A] great book for inpatient psychiatric nurses."―Doody's Medical Reviews

Psychiatric nursing practice has changed dramatically to accommodate increasing patient acuity and an evolving healthcare landscape. This text reflects these factors by focusing on four particularly challenging aspects: keeping the patient safe, stabilizing symptoms, promoting engagement in treatment, and discharge planning. In a systematic, easy-to-access format, it offers evidence-based interventions and concrete strategies that can be used to alleviate patient distress and effectively deliver care.
