'This book will be a great resource for students on clinical placements and as a general reference guide. An asset for nurses who don't have many books like this to choose from.'

The book should be accessible to all health professions wanting to refresh or enhance upon their knowledge in pharmacology. It is a quick go-to guide that encourages the reader to speak openly around mental health.

Personal and real experiences in the format of case studies from clinical mental health nurses all bring the book to life. -- Louise Terrell
