Psychiatric and mental health nursing By Ruth Elder, Katie Evans, Debra Nizette (eds) ISBN 0-7295-3729-3 Mosby/Elsevier Australia $66.00
Faced with a lack of mental health nursing texts suitable for the Australian/New Zealand context, editors Ruth Elder, Katie Evans, and Debra Nizette set about producing a skills-based Australian/New Zealand publication to support mental health nurse education, and encourage all nurses to care for patients with mental illness in non- stigmatising ways
. Psychiatric and mental health nursing focusses on mental health nursing practice, discussing the Australian and NZ political/legal context; theories of mental health and wellness; and major mental illnesses. It also examines diagnostic classifications, interventions, and effective nursing and treatments. Since its release, the editors say it has received very positive feedback from the nursing profession, reflecting its relevance to Australian nursing.
