Peter N Watkins
English

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. In this book the author charts the journey of recovery from severe and disabling mental health problems. The book's optimistic tone challenges the prevailing notion that recovery is an outcome open only to a minority. It describes the necessary transformation of mental health services into a recovery culture. At the heart of the book are five recovery stories which are a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit that enables us to rise above adversity. It is these themes that mental health professionals must engage with if they are to be guides and companions to people on their recovery journeys.

Die Reihe Werkstattbücher zu Pflege heute ist ein offenes Konzept, das vielfältige theoretische und praktische Inhalte, Ideen und Hilfsmittel für den Unterricht zu den einzelnen Themenbereichen bietet. Es ist die ideale Ergänzung zum Lehrbuch Pflege heute, aber offen genug, um auch in Verbindung mit anderen Lehrbüchern genutzt zu werden. Diese Reihe lehnt sich an kein bestimmtes Curriculum an und ist deshalb bundesweit einsetzbar.

Clinical Nursing Practices

5th Edition
April 5, 2007
Elizabeth Jamieson + 2 more
English

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is a well-known text that provides guidelines for over 40 common nursing procedures carried out by carers in a variety of settings. The development of competence in these practices is one of the most important aspects of pre-registration programmes, and this is one of the few UK-based texts that takes an educational approach to these practices as opposed to a purely procedure-driven approach. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on a holistic approach with the recognition that each patient is a unique individual. Each procedure contains rationale and information for patient education in addition to step by step guidance.
