Mental Health Nursing: The Art of Compassionate Care is a radical, ground-breaking book, taking as its central theme, the significance of the relationship between mental health professionals and people using the service during the recovery process. In contrast to 'expert led', bio-medical psychiatry, disabling distress is seen from a person centered, holistic perspective, and healing is regarded as a product of true collaboration between professionals and service users.
