Customer Reviews

Good book, but...

I've checked out the newer edition, and the major change is the company shuffling around their chapters. As an example, even the chapter review questions are the same! Don't buy the other edition.

concise

This book is great. This is my third psychology class, but this is the first book that explains the different components of the science (or art) in clear, concise, and easily understood reading. I have only read 5 chapters so far, but I anticipate selling my other psychology books and keeping this one as my reference on this subject in the future.

exceptional textbook

A well balanced textbook for nursing psique, includes nursing care plans, follow up evaluation, organized and structured in a very professional way.

Excellent textbook for Mental Health Nursing

Easy reading, informative, & well put together. As a nursing student myself, I highly recommend this text.

It's great for nursing students!

Being a recent nursing student I have to say I really liked this book. Mary C. Townsend did an excelllent job breaking down the material. It contains nursing diagnosis, chapter summaries,case studies and chapter reviews. It included every aspect of information that made paperwork, careplans, clinical prep-work and studying a bit easier. I would reccomend this book to any nursing student especially if this may be your future field.
