Embracing the Client Perspective in Mental Health Crises: A Collection of Poems and Reflective Practice Activities provides a unique exploration into the emotional landscape experienced by individuals during mental health crises. The book presents a poignant series of poems written by Bonnie Jean Raingruber, RN, Ph.D. that introduce nurses and mental health professionals to the depth of feelings and presentations common among those experiencing mental health challenges such as depression, mania, trauma, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. The poems reflect Dr. Raingruber’s experiences working as a mental health nurse, a therapist, and a clinical nurse specialist in inpatient and outpatient settings. Written to enhance understanding and empathy, the book explores clinical conditions through poetry and provides readers with reflective practice exercises designed to teach the coping, writing, and reflecting skills necessary for mental health nursing. Readers engage with works that represent the inner voice of clients, each poem inviting introspection on complex lifescapes and advocating for client-focused care in nursing practice. Ideal for budding healthcare professionals who seek a compassionate understanding of patients’ experiences, Embracing the Client Perspective in Mental Health Crises is well suited for courses and programs in nursing, counseling, mental health, and related helping professions.
