This provides the reader with a unique insight into the psychology of human behaviour, and human caring, that student nurses, and those on post-qualifying courses, will find invaluable. There are examples and discussion points throughout to help strengthen the relevance to practice. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to nurses and students of other health disciplines, who will come away with new insights and a better understanding of human behaviour.' Daniel Kelly, Cardiff University `The authors show that, not only do nurses need to have knowledge about core aspects of the science of psychology, we need to become skilled at knowing how to competently apply that knowledge within a broader person-centred approach to care.'
