Forensic Mental Health Nursing: Ethics, Debates, Dilemmas
Quay books, Sep 2010, Pages: 360
This is the newest edition to the popular NFNRDG series on forensic nursing focusing on the ethical and legal aspects of mental health nursing from both a practitioner’s and user’s point of view.
Forensic nursing is a rapidly evolving speciality of mental health nursing. This book is needed because of an increasing awareness of the legal and moral obligations in forensic mental nursing practice. This comprehensive text covers a wide range of issues including examination of the rights of specific groups such as ethnic minorities, people with learning disabilities and prison populations.
This text provides readers with an up to date overview of the most important and pertinent legislation in this field.
This informative book is an invaluable text for all forensic nurses in clinical practice, student nurses and students on forensic courses.
'Covers a range of issues that apply across mental health nursing, and focuses on some specialist areas'. Senior Lecturer
The book is written by a wide number of contributors from a range of backgrounds, which is somewhat refreshing as the book does not consist of the usual authors that one expects to find in a forensic book. Of particular note is the contribution of student nurses ? Some interesting real-life case examples are provided in trying to discuss the ethical issues and dilemmas facing nurses and health professionals. Additionally, there are a few quite personal accounts of people?s experiences, which provide some significant food for thought ? The book offers significant insights into some of the real issues facing forensic mental health professionals in day to day practice. Paul Rogers, British Journal of Wellbeing
