Description
Offering coverage of important nursing and medical concepts, this text examines the stress-adaptation framework - a biospychosocial approach that emphasises the mental health continuum and curent coverage of psychobiology. This leads to discussion of psychopharmacology, which reflects the biological bent in modern psychiatry. In this sixth edition, the clinical chapters on depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia and substance abuse have been revised to include medical diagnostic categories. The importance of working with the family is emphasized in a new chapter A new chapter covering the special issues involved in providing care in the home is also included, and should ill help prepare students for practice in this rapidly growing community setting. The book also includes a feature at the end of each chapter called "Your Internet Connection" and appendix listing the most helpful Web sites on the Internet.
