Foundations of Mental Health Care, 8th Edition, provides an accessible, multidisciplinary textbook designed to prepare LPN/LVNs and caregivers to treat clients experiencing maladaptive behaviors. The text offers broad coverage of fundamental mental health principles, life cycle development, and specific psychological and psychosocial conditions. All mental health disorders described across the chapters are structured around current DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
This edition integrates updated coverage on urgent healthcare topics, including violence, suicide, physical abuse, substance abuse, and schizophrenia. To address diverse client needs, the text outlines therapeutic interventions spanning holistic care, medical management, the nursing process, and psychotherapeutic drug therapy, allowing practitioners to evaluate multiple treatment pathways.
To support student preparation for licensing tests, Get Ready for the NCLEX Examination sections assemble key points, study resources, and NCLEX-PN review questions at the end of chapters. Inclusion of Next-Generation NCLEX case studies and practice question formats helps nursing candidates develop clinical decision-making skills required for standard certification exams.
