Psychology for Nurses
Arnel Banaga Salgado
ISBN 9789833850761 • MHID 9833850766 • 2010 • Softcover • 188pp
A comprehensive book written for those taking diploma and degree
programmes in nursing. It is also for the registered nurses (RN) who would
like to enrich their nursing practice.
This book is unique in that the author who is a psychologist and a mental
health nurse practitioner has introduced new concepts that are relevant to
the nursing practice. Among these concepts are psychology of nursing care;
psychological interventions, like the therapeutic smile; and the therapeutic
use of self or presence. The basic concepts of psychology are also presented
in this book since, as the author views it, it is very important that all nurses
know and understand the origin and the development of psychology as a
science.
