Publisher's Synopsis
Forensic nursing is a rapidly growing specialty of mental health nursing, with a rapid evolution of the roles within forensic nursing. Examples of the roles not previously covered include forensic nurse consultant and specialist therapeutic roles. This book also covers other areas, including the developing areas of forensic nursing from an international perspective, with the first forensic unit opened in Japan and the first forensic nurses in Africa. This area is a growing and rapidly expanding part of mental health, with new developing and evolving services, and this book is an excellent addition to the literature.
