Assessment and care planning are crucial competencies in mental health nursing and healthcare. This book provides an in-depth focus on how to conduct effective assessments and the planning of care, supported by a comprehensive range of research, evidence, and literature from a variety of sources.

Part one of the book explores the core aspects of assessment, such as effective communication skills, co-production and collaborative-working with a recovery-focused approach, partnership working, interventions, and the importance of relapse prevention. Part two uses a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) model to consider assessment under four categories: the person’s physical health, behaviour, thoughts, and feelings. In the final section, themes and concepts previously outlined are applied through four in-depth, diverse case studies that relate to the variety of situations you will encounter in clinical practice. This book has three aims:

To consider what assessment is To show that assessment is not a standalone activity To encourage you to reflect on and develop your skills

Thoroughly revised and updated, Assessment and Care Planning in Mental Health Nursing, 2nd edition is a practical and essential resource for nursing students, practitioners and all healthcare professionals involved in the assessment of people with mental health problems.

Nick Wrycraft is a registered mental health nurse, Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, member of the Chartered Management Institute, and Senior Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, UK teaching research methodology.
