Forensic Mental Health Nursing Bundle
Quay books, Jan 2008
This bundle consists of the following three forensic mental health nursing titles:
(1) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Interventions with People with ‘Personality Disorder'
(2) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Capabilities Roles & Responsibility
(3) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Forensic Aspects of Acute Care
(1) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Interventions with People with ‘Personality Disorder'
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).
(2) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Capabilities Roles & Responsibility
This book is about issues related to the role and function of the forensic mental health nurse. The book originated from the determination of the National Forensic Nurses’ Research and Development Group to contribute to the development of forensic and other aspects of mental health nursing. It is aimed at helping nurses to understand the changing nature and multiplicity of roles of the forensic mental health nurse, in order to enable the provision of appropriate care to patients, their carers, families and significant/relevant others, including the person harmed (the victim or survivor of an offence).
It is also aimed at enabling a greater understanding to develop between professions and is designed to give examples of how professionals can work together. Much of the content of this book is relevant to forensic learning disability nursing; and to other forensic and prison mental health professionals, and to service users and organisations representing their rights and interests.
(3) Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Forensic Aspects of Acute Care
Timely text considering the problems associated with violent and aggressive behaviour. The book includes chapters written by service and considers the care of the patient with a forensic problem from the carer's perspective.
This book is one of a series that emerged from a discussion, in a National Forensic
Nurses’ Research and Development Group meeting, about how the Group could contribute to the development of forensic nursing, and more widely, mental health nursing. As with the first book, a seed was planted and this book was born! This text is aimed at helping nurses working in acute areas to care for and to manage those forensic patients who, for whatever reason, find themselves in an acute inpatient area.
These books can also be purchased separately. For further details, please see the 'Also Available' links below.
