"Forensic Mental Health Nursing" illustrates contemporary forensic
mental health nursing practice within and beyond secure clinical
environments.
This multi-authored book demonstrates the evolution of the
nurse's role from its in-patient, secure-services origins to the
diverse sub-specialism of mental health nursing that exists today.
Specific practice-based issues, such as the care and management of
sex offenders and personality disordered individuals, are
addressed, together with an exploration of topics including the
skills and knowledge base of forensic mental health nursing, the
development of the forensic nurse's role and the challenges of
community services provision. Individual chapters are devoted to
issues such as psychosocial interventions, the assessment and
management of risk, diversion from the Criminal Justice System,
ethnicity and the ethical aspects of practice.
This book will be of interest to forensic mental health nurses,
those who may be contemplating a career in this area, and to
members of the other professional groups involved in the management
and provision of care and treatment within forensic mental health
settings. It will provide a primary resource text for students
studying in this area.
