Psychology for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals : Applying Theory to Practice

Psychology for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals is a brand new textbook written for all those studying and working in nursing and in the allied health professions, including midwifery and health visiting.

It provides comprehensive coverage of the core subject areas of psychology: including basic psychological processes such as perception, motivation and emotion, social processes such as conformity, obedience, aggression and social behaviour, development across the lifespan, including early experiences, cognitive, moral and language development, adolescence, adulthood and old age - as well as health psychology, stress and personality. Written by the bestselling Psychology author Richard Gross, and Nancy Kinnison, a highly experienced nurse and nursing lecturer, Psychology for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals is a refreshingly new approach to applying the theoretical aspects of psychology to the practical aspects of nursing and health care.

This highly illustrated text is accessible, practical, and comprehensive.
