Open University Press McGraw-Hill Education McGraw-Hill House Shoppenhangers Road Maidenhead Berkshire England SL6 2QL email: Praise for this book “Now more than ever, people working in health care need to focus on the person. The systems in which we work can sometimes mitigate against being able to carry out effective communication and assessment. This book reminds us of the importance of maintaining our focus on the individual, and on their fears and hopes. I would highly recommend this very useful resource to student nurses and their teachers, as well as other health professionals interested in holistic approaches to communication and support. It contains the kernel of good care: seeing the person behind the disease.” Professor Daniel Kelly, RCN Chair of Nursing Research, Cardiff University, UK “Psychosocial Nursing Care is a very timely book that helps to develop the learner’s understanding of how the nurse may relate to and care for the ‘whole person’, through the use of lucid and illustrated accounts. It helps the reader to transcend the usual silos of general and mental health nursing by highlighting the relevance and application of key dimensions of care, such as empathy, resilience, intimacy and the challenges that all nurses encounter, including support for the anxious person. It therefore flls an important gap in the literature and is very accessible to both students and qualifed staff.” Professor Steven Ersser, Dean of the Faculty of Health & Social Care & Professor of Nursing & Dermatology Care, The University of Hull, UK MHBK092-FM.indd 5 4/11/13 7:30 AM Downloaded by [ Faculty of Nursing, Chiangmai University 5.62.156.86] at [07/18/16].
