The editors highlight the problems in creating therapeutic environments within settings which are often poorly resourced, crisis driven and risk aversive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors argue that for change to occur there needs first of all to be a genuine appreciation of the experiences of those involved in the unpredictable, anxiety-arousing and sometimes threatening environment of the psychiatric ward. Each chapter comprises a personal account of in-patient care by those in the front line: people who have been admitted to a psychiatric ward; their relatives; or those that provide the care. These accounts are followed by two commentaries written from different perspectives, suggesting lessons that can be learnt to improve the quality of care. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExperiences of Mental Health In-patient Care\u003c\/em\u003e will be useful for all mental health professionals, including mental health nurses, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, arts therapists, social workers and trainees, as well as service users and carers organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Hardcastle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415410819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415410816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Mark Hardcastle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621720994047,"sku":"9780415410816","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36b2ace7-5442-4801-9f9b-8d6e4f6e418f.jpg?v=1780426653","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/experiences-of-mental-health-in-patient-mark-hardcastle-9780415410816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
