This resource provides the foundation of knowledge you need to navigate often-fraught situations with sensitivity and confidence.

A range of mental health presentations (including post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, and addiction)
Patients with complex needs (learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, dementia)
Guidance on risk assessment and safety
The nuances of the legal framework surrounding mental health and mental capacity
Nine case studies, eight reflective exercises, seven workbook activities and further clinical tips.
