The Adult Safeguarding Practice Handbook
This is an essential, practical guide to best practice in adult safeguarding which supports students and practitioners to develop the skills, knowledge and ethical awareness to confidently address the challenges of adult safeguarding across a wide range of practice contexts in the UK. The authors explore the current context of adult safeguarding in the UK, together with the legislation, rights and principles that are the basis of best practice, and with a focus on developments in practice following the implementation of the Care Act (2014). Practitioners are supported to develop their practice by exploring new research and innovative ways of working within the field, while promoting the importance of learning from experience and building resilience in adult safeguarding work. This book includes: • helpful case studies and examples of professional decision making from experienced adult safeguarding practitioners • top tips and models to enable confident application of knowledge to practice • tools for reflection to extend the practitioner’s development
Mental Disorder
Originally published in 1977, this book was written in response to demands for a textbook of psychiatry which was neither too theoretical, nor so simple that it was inaccurate. It was addressed primarily to pupil nurses in hospitals for the mentally ill, and to student nurses in their first months of training. Its style and content ensured that it could be read with profit by all others whose work brought them into close contact with the mentally ill. The early chapters provide a history of care and treatment, an introduction to psychological development and the unconscious mind, and an explanation of mental disorder and its causes. Specific mental disorders are discussed together with an outline of their treatments, and the general management of the patient is described wherever appropriate. Case illustrations are given as specific examples of various mental conditions. The final chapters cover modern psychological and physical treatments, the aims and means of rehabilitation, and the resources available for the care of the patient in the community. Today it can be read in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1977. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
