Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, Fifth Edition, Enhanced
Update
provides thorough coverage of psychiatric mental health
nursing organized around the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. With an
emphasis on the recovery model, the book follows DSM-5 guidelines
and has expanded content.
The Fifth Edition, Enhanced Update addresses the changes in the DSM-
5 diagnostic criteria in a response to market needs. This Update includes
core DSM-5 changes, select reference updates, and integration of icons
to highlight related “patient experience videos” that are available on
thePoint website. It also retains an emphasis on the recovery model,
which focuses on a patient’s potential for recovery, involving the
partnership between patient and health care provider as a journey of
transformation, rather than as a set outcome.
