Psychiatric Nursing is fraught with more ethical dilemmas than any other area of nursing practice. The need to confront, appreciate and attempt to resolve these issues represents a major challenge for the practitioner, the educator and the researcher.

This edited text explores the philosophical background to ethical dilemmas, the individual struggles that they generate for practitioners and some of the ideological conflicts in mental health care. Each chapter is prefaced by an introduction to reflect the editors' views of the particular issues involved. Psychiatric Nursing: Ethical Strife:

• delineates humanity and power as critical ethical considerations
• focuses on 'real life' everyday practice dilemmas in mental health care
• features both new and seasoned writers with moving experiences to share
• breaks new ground in the field of psychiatric nursing ethics

This book will appeal to a wide cross-section of nurses and other mental health professionals, along with those who educate and manage them. It will be essential reading for UK Project 2000 students, as well as students on pre- and post-registration courses, both in the UK and overseas.
