Community Psychiatric Nursing: A Research Perspective

This book brings together a collection of contemporary research studies into community psychiatric nursing (CPN). The material included should have a wide appeal and focuses on three main areas: practice issues, management and education. All contributors have either been or are still working as practising community psychiatric nurses and thus the writing is very much geared towards the practicalities of CPN work. Each contributor employs a different methodology to answer their basic research question. This book should help both students and practitioners alike to gain a deeper insight into important issues in community psychiatric nursing. This book is a contribution to the understanding of current practice and is useful reading for all those involved in community mental health care. This book should be of interest to students and practitioners in the mental health field.
