books already written on psychiatricnursing,the publication of yet another requires some justification.In the course of our work with student nurses we found that theavailable books failed to meet certain needs.Few have been writtenspecifically to meet the revised syllabus of 1964 for the Register ofMental Nurses,nor do they adequately reflect the changes in attitudeimplied in the 1959 Mental Health Act.The role of the psychiatricnurse is in a state of transition and progress,and it is important toredefine some of the basic and unchanging aspects of mental nursingwhile examining some of the new demands that nurses have to face.  \nDescriptions of mental illness in textbooks tend to dehumanise thepicture,so that the nurse is unable to recognise the patients whom shemeets in her day to day work as having anything in common withthose described in books.On the other hand,those texts designed tocover the nursing aspects tend to deal in generalities rather than withthe specific problems arising in the different conditions.For thisreason,the case histories contained in this book are written more asshort stories than in the conventional case report style.These casestories are followed by conventional descriptions of the illnesses.Inthis way it is hoped that the nurse will be able to relate the livingperson to the conventional ways used to describe their behaviour.  \nWhile this book is designed primarily to meet the needs of thestudent mental nurse,it is planned in such a way as to be suitable forothers who have to deal with the mentally ill,either in the course oftheir professional work or because they have sick relatives.With theincreasing emphasis on community care of the mentally ill,more andmore people are having to cope with problems that were previouslythe province of the mental nurse,and they requir","cbCaijPRdG0mvd59","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijPRdG0mvd59","pdf",14400621,274,"English","# Preface\n## Patients and Illnesses\n# Part One: Patients and
