""This book considers the range of skills and roles that nurse's
now undertake within specialist CAMHS, it provides a good basic
introduction for nurses and clinicians from other disciplines.
Discussion around medication management as part of a nurse's
extended role is timely and will be of particular use to those
considering this option within their practice. The text is easily
accessible, utilising case studies to enhance learning. The
inclusion of research and audit helps raise the need not only for
nurses to be more involved in research but also the need for
clinicians to evaluate their practice. I would recommend this text
to clinicians new to CAMHS."
Sharon Pagett, Senior Lecturer, Mental Health (CAMHS), Department
of Nursing, University of Central Lancashire, UK
"Nurses have a key role to play within the Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Team. Yet there are few textbooks devoted to the
specialist and advanced roles which many undertake within this
field of practice. This text will fill the void addressing legal
and ethical issues while focusing upon clinical practice and the
application of theoretical concepts."
Fiona Smith, Adviser in Children's and Young People's Nursing,
Royal College of Nursing, UK"
This book focuses on child and adolescent mental health (CAMH)
for nurses training and working in this field. The authors explore
the various roles CAMH nurses fulfil and consider how these roles
might be undertaken with confidence.
Drawing upon both the academic evidence available, and grounded
in the reality of clinical practice, the book looks at how to
assess the different issues and the various interventions used in
practice. The authors consider the effect of child and family
development on mental health, as well as broader factors
influencing mental health and well-being. Among the core issues
considered are: Definitions and consequences of mental health,
illness and stigma Child development Legislative frameworks
Assessment skills Therapeutic work: individual counselling,
cognitive behavioural therapy, family work and medication Clinical
governance and supervision Research Chapters include case
scenarios, clinical applications and boxes highlighting the key
context issues.
"Nursing in Child and Adolescent Mental Health" is relevant to
nurses at all levels, but is especially useful to postgraduate
nurses and nurses in specialist child and adolescent mental health
services (SCAMHS). Other professional staff will also find it
useful.
