Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Interventions with People with ‘Personality Disorder'
Quay books, Jan 2006, Pages: 245
This book emerged from one of the National Forensic Nurses’ Research and Development Group meetings, through what is often the central focus of these: how can we as a Group contribute to the development of forensic nursing and more widely mental health nursing? A seed was planted and this book was born!
As many of the authors in this book point out, people with personality disorders have had a rough deal from some mental health services, and have often been written off as ‘untreatable’ and perceived negatively by nurses and other professionals (National Institute for Mental Health in England, 2003). There has been a lack of adequate pre- and post-registration education for working with individuals with personality disorders. In addition, there has been a dearth of support and clinical supervision for staff (Bowers, 2002); and until recently, a limited amount of literature to relate to nursing practice. In particular, there has been a lack of research-based evidence to inform specific interventions (Woods and Richards, 2003).
This book aims to fill a gap in the literature. A pioneering text (Barnes, 1968) considered the nurse’s role in working with individuals with personality disorders in therapeutic communities; and several generic and forensic mental health nursing texts include chapters on relevant nursing interventions (for example Houghton and Ousley, 2004; Parsons, 2003; Schafer, 2002; Woods, 2001). However, as far as we know, our book is the first to consider a wide range of nursing interventions with people with personality disorders, and to explore related issues.
The introductory chapter will provide a brief introduction to the concept of ‘personality disorder’ and to the main themes considered in the book.
