Customer Review: I found myself going back and referring to this textbook a lot as a nursing student. Mental health questions are usually common sense but there are quite a few areas where I needed to improve. I found that this book is not only required for my class but also in the field. There are mental health patients in all departments of the hospitals, clinics, etc.

Customer Review: This book just seemed like a joke. It attempted to create a "scientific" study from a very subjective subject (feelings, basically). I was unimpressed.

Customer Review: this is a nice little book with lots of information, I keep it in my clipboard @work and use it frequently as a refresher for topics I've long since forgotten. I would recommend this for anyone who wants basic information on psych issues.

Customer Review: I bought this book to help write care plans for pediatrics. It is a pretty good book and very easy to use. The pathophysiology in the book is pretty simple so I had to use other resources for that. I found repeating interventions with repeating rational for several of the peds careplans. It did save me time from searching peer reviewed rational specific to pediatrics. I would recommend the book as a source but it probably isn't going to help you write your entire careplan. I hope to be able to use again for mental health careplans.
