      L'implantation des aides-soignants en service de psychiatrie est assez récente et ne remonte qu'aux années 1980. Le nombre d'infirmiers en constante diminution a permis de valoriser le métier d'aide-soignant en psychiatrie en le structurant et en le diversifiant dans ses tâches. Cette évolution a également permis de changer l'image de l'aide-soignant qui est devenu un professionnel reconnu. Désormais, les aides-soignants en service psychiatrique ne sont donc plus cantonnés aux seules fonctions d'hygiène, de restauration et d'accompagnement dans les démarches administratives, sociales et médicales, ils doivent aussi savoir : • observer et écouter ; • tisser une relation de confiance avec le patient ; • être vigilant et prévenir les risques. Cet ouvrage, qui intègre les nouvelles dispositions de la loi de juillet 2011, cerne les différents rôles de l'aide-soignant en service de psychiatrie. Après un rappel théorique, il offre les outils pour mieux appréhender la prise en charge des patients atteints de troubles psychiatriques au travers de multiples mises en situation et conseils pratiques.

Pour chaque classe, les propriétés, les indications et les contre-indications, les précautions d'emploi et les effets secondaires sont indiqués. Ce « tout en un », très pratique grâce à son format poche, est un guide indispensable au quotidien : en cours, en stage, en ville, en clinique ou à l'hôpital.
