Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nursing
Integrating Psychotherapy, Psychopharmacology, and Complementary and Alternative Approaches Across the Life Span
Description
Now in its third edition, this revised reference continues to serve as the only foundational resource for APRNs to incorporate a focus on integrative interventions with mental health issues across the lifespan. New chapters on Legal and Ethical Decision Making and LGBTQ+ Issues: Care of Sexual and Gender Minority Patients, and Increasing Resilience in Advanced Practice Mental Health Nurses, shed light on vital contemporary issues. This text offers expanded coverage on telehealth, population health, and the updated AACN Essentials. Additionally, the third edition provides 10 practical case studies illustrating specific syndromes as well as 2019 updates to the ANCC certification exam.
Comprehensive and practical, this text is organized around commonly seen clinical constellations of psychiatric symptoms and covers neurobiology, theory, and research evidence along with pharmacological information relevant to each syndrome. It delivers an abundance of valuable interventions from which clinicians and clients can co-create the most effective, individualized interventions. Popular decision trees provide an algorithm to help students work through the process of evaluating and treating patients, and a lifespan focus prepares students for treating patients in all age groups.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials
"The book diverges from many other texts in the field of psychiatric and mental health care by exploring symptom profiles as opposed to DSM-5-TR structured content. While the book acknowledges DSM-5-TR diagnoses throughout, the contributors expertly maintain the focus on the symptoms that bring clients to seek treatment with advanced practice psychiatric nurses, such as sleep disturbances or problems with depression or anxiety, as opposed to DSM-5-TR diagnostic clusters."
-- Timothy Legg, PhD, PsyD, MSN, PMHNP-BC (Legg Counseling and Consulting Services) Doody's Review
"This is an important book for advanced practice psychiatric nurses. It presents options that have not been readily available for the treatment of complex clients and provides overviews and instructions for integrating alternative and traditional therapies for psychiatric patients."
