Liaison mental health nursing is emerging as a significant role encompassing core skills which can be developed within a range of different settings with different client groups. This is the first book which attempts to clarify the role itself and the core skills which it requires, as well as exploring how it has developed within different acute and general settings.
The contents are organised into three sections:The theoretical foundation (Section 1)Generic approaches and skills of the role (Section 2)Cognitive Behavioural approaches (Section 3)Each section contains chapters contributed by practitioners working in a number of different settings and each chapter emphasises core skills while providing examples from practice of how the role can develop and innovate in different ways. Specifically, each chapter contains sections on: relevant research; assessment; therapeutic approaches; practice guidelines and suggestions for referral. The presentation will include case examples and practical suggestions for individual case management and where appropriate a section on information and help for user and carers.
Zielgruppe
The book will be an important purchase for both specialists within the field and other mental health nurses who perceive this as a significant aspect of their role. It is likely to be a significant text for post-registration mental health courses. It will also be of interest to non-mental health nurses within acute fields where awareness of psychological and psychiatric issues are relevant to nursing care. There may also be interest from social workers, occupational therapists and other professionals working with relevant client groups.<ul><li>Liaison mental health workers in any setting in hospital or community</li><li>Mental health workers</li><li>General nurses who wish to develop liaison skills (mostly in A&E, Obs and Gynae, Oncology and community settings)</li><li>Social workers, Ots.</li><li>Voluntary organisations</li></ul>
