Psychiatry nurses are expected to find solution to all kinds of problems of their clients and thus be able to take on-the-spot decisions. The job requires thinking flexibly and also taking risks.

The book attempts to give an all-around grooming to student nurses for their job. Every effort has been made to fulfill the requirements of the syllabus as prescribed by the Indian Nursing Council.
