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: social processes such as conformity, obedience, social behaviour, development across the lifespan, including early experiences, cognitive, adolescence, adulthood, and old age -- as well as health psychology, stress, and personality.

Written by the bestselling psychology author Richard Gross with 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.
