Reviews for Mental Health Medicines Management for Nurses

Diversity and Marginalisation in Childhood is a work of critical inclusive education. It is accessibly written but also demands critical thinking. Hamilton introduces readers to the philosophical and sociological schools upon which much policy and practice is based and encourages, through good use of case study-based tasks, readers to link theory with practice in inclusive education.
