Review: This is the latest in the Vital Notes for Nurses series, providing an introductory textbook for pre-registration nurses. It relates to the psychology units that have been developed by the psychology team in nursing at Bournemouth University. There are seven chapters. The first gives a preliminary insight into the different perspectives in psychology. The others cover: Who is a nurse?; How do nurses learn?; Understanding health and illness through the lifespan; Psychological theory for nurse in a social world; Managing a therapeutic relationship; and How do people cope with suffering?
