nursing student

Great book for mental health. Simple, easy to read, and clear. What more can you say for a textbook?!?

VERY informative!

This book was easy to read and understand. I would recommend it for any nursing student. It's not full of useless information and statistics that you will never use. It has the information that you WILL need.

Best mental health nursing textbook

This textbook makes mental health nursing comprehensive and fun to learn. The concepts are well defined and there are lots of practice situations. It is easy to read and not too dry and boring. The CD was excellent for reviewing and studying and I would recommend this as a main textbook for mental health nursing.
