For any 3rd year student mental health nurse doing management, this is an essential text. Also, it has added value once qualified in ongoing professional development and NMC mentor training.

Really useful book
Unbelievable value for money. This book too was second -hand but in excellent condition. Although written with American medical system in mind it is still 98% relevant for the UK. Recommended for student nurses doing management and leadership module.
