this book is ideal for both mental health and adult branch students since professional values and ethical nursing practice are at the forefront of the minds of the modern nurse.
however, it is useful to have a text that devotes such a huge topic to mental health care. -- Mrs Karen Wild * drupal *
This is an extememly useful and readable book that enables students on the AMHP programme to revisit their knowledge and understanding of values and ethics in mental health practice and to reflect on how they apply them to their own practice as mental health professionals. It covers current issues in mental health practice particularly the concept of positive risk taking and the issue of values and ethics in mental health law which are particlarly relelevent to the AMHP role. -- Mrs Mary Macdonald * drupal *
With AMHPs coming from different professional backgrounds it is essietntail to explore values and ethics in the context of AMHP practice; now, more than ever,we cannot assume a shared understanding of terms, concepts and their application in practice. Also useful for AMHPs who have been in prctie sometime and need a period of reflection and study - this book will help take them through key areas, guiding reflection and personal development. A good read
well referenced and index, structure of the text makes sense -- Ms Judith Matthews * drupal *
The area of values and ethics in mental health is in my view a specialist area that cannot just be ′lumped′ in with general values and ethics. This book sensitively but appropriately addresses the issues that can arise. I think it will be a useful tool for students on placement and when qualified in practice. -- Ms Michelle Evans * drupal *
I like the format and whilst I can accept the content I can′t use it for my course. Have passed it on to SW colleague. -- Ms Nichola Lambert * drupal *
