Mental Health Nursing Families and Family Therapy Special Edition Salvador Minuchin “Minuchin was the first family psychiatrist to present a way forward for family relationships to work effectively and proactively as distinct from diagnosing what does not work. Families and Family Therapy used with appropriate cultural sensitivity, is essential reading for clinicians and educators.”

—Banu Moloney, The Bouverie Family Centre, La Trobe University, Australia

One of family therapy’s foundational texts, Families and Family Therapy is as relevant today as it has ever been. Examining the therapist’s role, Dr. Minuchin presents the views and strategies of a master clinician in a clear and practical form. Transcripts of actual family sessions—both with families meeting their problems fairly successfully and those seeking help—are accompanied by a running interpretation of what is taking place. The book constructs a model of an effectively functioning family and defines the boundaries around its different subsystems, whether parental, spouse, or sibling. It then explores the ways in which families adapt to stress from within and without, as they seek to survive and grow.

This special edition of the classic text includes a new introduction from Professor Arlene Vetere exploring its continuing influence on contemporary practice.

Combining vivid clinical examples, specific details of technique, and mature perspectives on both effectively functioning families and those seeking therapy, this is an important text for all those interested in the theory and practice of family therapy.

Contents: Foreword, Arlene Vetere. Structural Family Therapy.

Working in Mental Health

Practice and Policy in a Changing Environment Edited by

Peter Phillips, Tom Sandford, and Claire Johnston “Public health professionals will find this book a valuable guide for working with clinical commissioning groups and local authorities on improving the quality and outcomes of mental health services.”

—Amanda Killoran, Public Health Today

A paradigm shift in the ways in which mental health services are delivered is happening—both for service users and for professional mental healthcare workers.

The landscape is being changed by a more influential service user movement, a range of new communitybased mental healthcare programmes delivered by an increasing plurality of providers, and new mental health policy and legislation.

Written by a team of experienced authors and drawing on their expertise in policy and clinical leadership, Working in Mental Health: Practice and Policy in a Changing Environment explains how mental health services staff can operate and contribute in this new environment. Divided into three parts, the first focuses on the socio-political environment, incorporating service user perspectives. The second section looks at current themes and ways of working in mental health. It includes chapters on recovery, the IAPT programme, and mental healthcare for specific vulnerable populations. The final part explores new and future challenges, such as changing professional roles and commissioning services. The book focuses throughout on the importance of public health approaches to mental healthcare.

This important text will be of interest to all those studying and working in mental healthcare, whether from a nursing, medical, social work or allied health background.

High Risk Maternity Care

Law and Ethics for Midwifery

Tina Moore and Chris Bewley Although midwives usually work with healthy women, sadly there are still occasions where medical intervention is necessary. In order to minimise the danger to mothers, it is vital that midwives can recognise deterioration and are aware of what action to take.

Taking into account recommendations made by successive CEMACE reports on maternal deaths, High Risk Maternity Care examines relevant pathophysiology and pharmacology, highlighting appropriate interventions and how to interpret indications of clinical deterioration.

This practical textbook is divided into three parts covering assessment, intervention, and developing midwifery practice. Each chapter includes learning outcomes, case studies, key points, a Priorities for Midwifery Practice section and further reading. The chapters also have “time out/activity based” sessions to encourage readers to reflect on the content of the chapter and help them to relate the content to their own clinical practice.

Topics include: • Respiratory assessment and pulse oximetry • Recognizing common dysrhythmias • Fluids and electrolyte disturbances • Stress and psychological disturbances • Ruptured uterus and hemorrhaging • Eclampsia • Ethical, legal, and professional implications • Practice development This text is suitable for midwifery students studying critical care in midwifery and high-risk maternity care or undertaking placements in level two or three settings. It will also be a valuable reference work for qualified midwives—especially those working in hospital settings—and critical care nurses.
