  The seventh edition of this text has been revised throughout to provide a contemporary perspective on mental health nursing. It explores the physical, psychological and sociological basis of care and covers treatment in both community and hospital settings. It also examines changes in the provision of care brought about such as the Community Care Act, the care programme approach and the role of the multi-disciplinary team. Appendices on specific diagnoses and the legal framework have been fully updated.
