Preface
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) is
well represented in this third edition of Essentials of Psychiatric Mental Health
Nursing: A Communication Approach to Evidence-Based Care, as are medications
recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at this writing. Color
plates depicting “The Neurobiology of Specific Disorders” is also new to this
edition. They come alive through animations on the Evolve website. Most of the
clinical chapters are totally revised, in particular, Chapter 19, Substance-Related and
Addictive Disorders and Chapter 25, Care for the Dying and Those Who Grieve, which
has been completely updated and revamped by a new expert in the field. This
edition continues to provide the essential content for a shorter course without
sacrificing either the current research or the nursing and psychotherapeutic
interventions necessary for sound practice. In fact, all efforts have been made to
ensure that research and psychotherapeutic interventions reflect current
knowledge.
