I just purchased this textbook for my Psychiatry Seminar class. I absolutely love the way the book is written. It is so accessible and the examples are very demonstrative. However, I am having one major issue with the book... The answers listed on the Evolve website for many of the answers are not correct. It will be a WHICH ONE of these is correct answer, and three letters will be listed. Additionally, unlike the first edition of the book, there are no rationales for the answers. For me this is a very big problem since I want example problems to help me study for the exam.
I hated Psych class. However this book is small and only gives you what you really need to know. I ended up actually reading all the chapters. Thank you Varcarolis for getting rid of all the freaking fluff that nursing books are notorious for!
To the point with only minimal extra chatter. I dislike the subject matter, but it presents it well. I used this for Psych in RN school (1 quarter). The book and only only give you roughly 5 questions that are god awful easy at the end of the chapter. No additional questions online...BOOO!
I ordered this book for my Mental Health Nursing class and yes it's easy to read and very informational....ITS MISSING A CHAPTER AND A HALF!!!! AND Chapter 21 is labeled as Chapter 19 so it's confusing! Dumb and Annoying!
Book did not explain things very well and author kept referecing that a topic say that was being discussed in one chapter will be dealt with in another chapter...this was frustrating to me...they could have at least given a little detail..
The book i received is okay - not stating a bad review - just wanted to state that the cover page on the back is ripped in half and wanted to cover my bum when turning it back in so i cannot be blamed for something that had been done before received.
The editor and author of this book should be embarrassed. I have read over half of this book so far and have found many grammatical errors and inaccurate information.For example: The substance abuse chapter has a section about heroin, spelled heroine in places. In the section referring to cannabis, the book tells the readers the leaves are smoked, when it is in fact the flowers which are most commonly smoked. The leaves are typically used for derivative products, and are rarely smoked.Incomplete sentences have also been found throughout this text. Some sentences are written so poorly it appears as if there was a rush job in making editing changes without going back to double check the work.I admit, I am not perfect at grammar myself. However, I would expect more from a textbook used for my mental health nursing unit in college. Errors should not be obvious to most readers. My class of 30 students have also mentioned finding errors throughout this text.This book is an easy read and would be better suited to a younger student, perhaps in eighth grade or high school. It does not go into much depth and provides an elementary introduction to the world of mental health nursing.
Elsevier needs to hire a copy editor. This reprinted edition is FULL of typographic errors, grammatical errors, syntax errors--you name it! The formatting of most of the Tables is poor, also. For example, a list of medications is given in the first column and then the descriptions in the other columns run together. It's just confusing and difficult to read. I feel this edition is not up to Elsevier's usual quality.
