As health and social care organisations respond to the health modernisation agenda, the use of integrated care pathways in mental health is fast growing. This work combines discussion of relevant and developing theory, with accounts of real time developments in practice.

This is a comprehensive core textbook which forms an ideal basis for foundation nursing students. It enables them to debate existing theory and observations from a variety of practice situations and thus develop new solutions to manage care problems.
