`'The authors have addressed complex topics in a very informative
and engaging way. The use of scenarios and on-line tests will
enable achievement of the mental health competencies required of
modern day practice. I believe this book has the potential to
become the key text for mental health nurses. I would have no
hesitation in recommending this text to mental health nursing
students'.

would give this book to any student on placement with me and to a
recently qualified nurse'

`'It is made very clear how what the student does in placement
links to standards and values set out in policy guidelines, which
in turn links very clearly to their role as qualified
professionals....this could be the main text for the mental health
branch programme and subsequently a helpful reference text for the
rest of their training '.
