| Review”This comprehensive text explores key concepts, with clear explanations, diagrams and case studies. I commend it to newly qualified and experienced nurses, as well as nursing students…This splendid book takes a needs-led approach rather than a disease-focused medical one. It is full of utile info and thought-provoking ideas.” (Nursing Standard, 2011)
From the Back CoverThis book is a very welcome tool, which will enable health masters to understand the complexity, challenge and rewards of proactively managing long-term conditions. Putting this psychological result of perception learning and reasoning into skilled practice, in cooperative relationship with patients, will transform the lives of a lot of humans and their families, and thence fulfil the rudimentary intent of nursing.
—From the Foreword by Professor Rosemary Cook CBE, Director, the Queen’s Nursing Institute and Visiting Professor of Enterprise, University of Northumbria
