Being able to engage with service users and communicate effectively is a fundamental skill identified by the NMC and required of all mental health nurses. The reality is that building rapport and developing therapeutic relationships does not come instinctively for everyone. The authors have responded to this with a book that explains the different communication theories and models and goes on to show students how they work in the real world. Innovative exercises encourage reflection and enable students to practice their developing communication skills as they progress. Throughout the book the authors are focussed on promoting recovery and have put the service user at the centre of the discussion, ensuring that their voice is heard.
Key features:
- Covers the communication content of the new NMC Standards and Essential Skills Clusters for pre-registration degree-level nursing education
- Focussed on promoting recovery and adopts a person-centred approach
- Interactive style using realistic scenarios and case studies making theory easy to apply to practice
- Includes a chapter co-authored by a service user offering a unique insight.

This is an excellent reference book that follows a recognised structure to other Health related texts and students should be able to negotiate the various chapters / themes with ease.
Particularly useful are the links to the NMC essential skills clusters as are the activities that help to provide some structured slef directed learning.
The language used is good and easy to understand and i thouroughly recommend this text to all Student Nurses irrespective of their specialiality branch. -- Mr PETER WALSHAM * drupal *
The main content is relevant and contemporary. Unfortunately as this book has standards for practice based on 2010 standards we cannot adopt. If the author wants to update with 2018 standards we would most definitely adopt this book as essential reading. -- Mrs carolyn maile * drupal *
This book is a thorough and informative book . One that may assist the lecturer within their teaching. -- Mrs Hazel Smith * drupal *
This book will be placed on my essential reading list not only for my physical health in mental health module, but also for my competent nurse module. I believe it offers insight into the complexities of caring and helps guide you through this by providing critical reflection opportunities.
