For new students this can be a particularly daunting task, since often this confidence comes from personal experience. This book provides examples of the type of clinical experiences students are likely to have on their student placements and offers a theoretical framework for them to understand and learn from these interchanges. The book illustrates three main theoretical approaches taught to students: Psychodynamic, person-centred and behavioural. The book takes a lifespan approach, covering the care of the child, the adolescent, the adult and the elderly person, including mental-health issues. Each chapter recounts a student's experience of working with a particular client group, enabling the reader to identify with the personal account and relate their own experience to the theoretical approaches under consideration. The reader is encouraged to reflect on the value of each of the theoretical approaches, thereby increasing effectiveness in communicating with patients.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e The interpersonal arena\u003cbr\u003e Theoretical approaches\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to the care of the child\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to care in adolescence\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to the care of the adult\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to the care of the older patient\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to the care of the adult with mental health disorder\u003cbr\u003e Approaches to cultural and spiritual care\u003cbr\u003e Conclusions: an eclectic approach\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52406478078232,"sku":"9780632041442","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780632041442.jpg?v=1784138720","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/interpersonal-skills-for-nurses-and-health-care-professionals-paperback-softback-9780632041442","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
