Originally published in 1931, Nursing Psychological Patients was ‘a book written by a nurse for the purpose of increasing the interest of members of the nursing profession in psychological diseases, by pointing out that they require the nurses’ serious attention and offer an important field for professional skill. The opening chapters summarize former opinions and earlier methods of treating this group of human sufferings, and trace the subsequent growth of knowledge and the development of modern forms of treatment. Later chapters describe the more familiar neurotic troubles, their symptoms and the difficulties they present to the nurse, and attempt, by increasing her understanding, to render her more efficient in meeting wisely the problems which she encounters.’ Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1931. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
