"This beautifully written book ... clearly explains the application
of psychological concepts and theories to health and succinctly
summarises key issues. Each chapter also provides a series of
vignettes capturing the kind of real-life situations health and
social care professionals will encounter in their own practice and
a set of thought-provoking exercises ... These will be invaluable
in developing critical thinking skills and growing the capacity to
provide the kind of empathic care which is the heart of
person-centred practice" Dr Wendy Cousins, Course Director,
University of Ulster School of Nursing, UK"I have recommended
earlier editions of this book and now am delighted to say that this
latest edition is even better. The authors continue to clearly
explain the relevance of psychological theories, models and
approaches to nursing care but now, through the use of frequent
reflective activities, vignettes and a 'psychosoap' family,
students are also highly encouraged to identify how the theory will
help them to become the high quality holistic practitioners they
desire to be." Anthony Duffy, Nurse Tutor, College of Human and
Health Sciences, Swansea University, UK"This new edition embraces
innovation in student learning. The use of the 'psychosoap'
provides a structure which is meaningful and insightful. The
chapter exercises have 'realworld' application and can be used to
understand your own and others motivations, beliefs and values.
Unlike many psychology texts ... this book offers real 'food for
thought' and provides the building blocks which link theory to
practice. It will also be a valuable resource for those who like to
'dip in' to a book." Philip Larkin, Professor of Clinical Nursing
(Palliative Care), and Joint Chair, University College Dublin and
Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services, Ireland"This new edition
continues to improve the reader's experience, providing
comprehensive insight into the complex subject of psychology. It is
user friendly, underpinned by research findings and will enable the
reader to apply its concepts personally and professionally. It is a
text which is well designed for student use and application and it
has employed a number of innovative features ... An excellent
resource, which I would highly recommend." Siobhan McCullough,
Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Queen's University
Belfast, UKThis bestselling book enables those working in health
and social care to learn and apply sound psychological principles
in the delivery of excellent, evidence-based, patient-centred care.
The emphasis throughout is on the promotion and maintenance of
personal well-being and quality of life -for care professionals and
those they care for. The new edition features a more engaging and
user-friendly format and has been comprehensively revised and
updated to reflect the latest psychological knowledge.
Psychological principles are also clearly set out and summarised in
ways that are easy to read and understand. The fourth edition
includes: A unique focus on transferable knowledge and skills
applicable in a variety of situationsExercises integrated
throughout the text to consolidate learning Examples presented in
the form of 'psychosoap' characters drawn from the authors'
experiences in research and practiceAn emphasis on positive
psychology and promotion of resilience in the management of stress
and negative emotionsReviews of recent advances in cognitive
science and issues related to communication Psychology for Nurses
and the Caring Professions is a succinct, readable and relevant
introductory text ideal for students and practitioners in health or
