The interpersonal basis of psychiatric nursing

This book is designed to be a clear, comprehensive textbook of psychiatric nursing for use by undergraduate and graduate nurses. All major aspects and concepts of psychiatry and psychiatric nursing are covered. The psychiatric nurse spends more time with the psychiatric inpatient than any other member of the professional team that treats him. Hence, the nurse's understanding of the interpersonal traumas which made the patient sick and the interpersonal processes which help him get well are important aspects of psychiatric treatment. In addition, understanding the emotional functioning of patients is important in general medical and surgical nursing, in pediatric nursing and in other nursing fields. This book attempts to cover all these interpersonal aspects of nursing. - Preface.
