As nurse education moves towards an all-graduate discipline, it is vital for nurses to have the ability to critique research in order to benefit practice. This book is intended for those seeking to gain or develop that skill. It also contains a chapter on how to critique research as part of the work of preparing a dissertation.

Presenting a range of key issues such as practice, policy, research and education related issues that psychiatric/mental health nurses face, this book also seeks to make psychiatric/mental health nurses aware of the uncertain nature of much of psychiatric/mental health nursing practice and knowledge.
