Table of ContentsIntroduction The Gestural Bridge Metaphors and Representations Garden Metaphors The House as Grammatical Form Rhythm and Regularity Nursing Knowledge and Nursing Art: Implications for Learning and Professional Training Conclusion: Figurativity and Metaphoric Process in the Nursing ToolkitReviewsI believe this book is quite unique, and necessary, at a time when much of psychiatric nursing practice, (at least at the master's level), consists of dispensing prescriptions for psychotropic medication. Psychiatric nursing is much more than this, and we must not lose the essential relational elements of our practice. The innovative approaches to patients who are not amenable to talk therapies will be useful to hospital nurses and students. I believe the book will be inspirational to all readers. The case examples are so vivid and beautifully narrated. - Professor Sandra Thomas, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA I believe this book is quite unique, and necessary, at a time when much of psychiatric nursing practice, (at least at the master's level), consists of dispensing prescriptions for psychotropic medication.

Mental health nurses are often on the frontline, and it is from that position of intimacy that this book makes a unique contribution. The style and quality of writing is impressive, in places poetic...The author has frontline experience, and writes with compassion and diligence. - Associate Professor Gary Winship, University of Nottingham, UK I believe this book is quite unique, and necessary, at a time when much of psychiatric nursing practice, (at least at the master's level), consists of dispensing prescriptions for psychotropic medication.

This volume is slim but contains a surprising amount of thought-provoking information...Each chapter shares new insights. Birnbaum discusses how to have conversations without speaking, how complex metaphors can be communicated through simpler activities, and how to allow individuals to express themselves through their specialized interests...The author does not dive into nursing theory or extensive policy dissection, instead focusing on real life cases of meaningful patient encounters...After finishing this book, readers have enough information to form their own ideas about how they can implement these interventions into their own work with challenging mental health populations. For those who work with individuals not considered ideal candidates for talk-based psychotherapies, this book is highly recommended. - Issues in Mental Health Nursing Author InformationShira Birnbaum is a psychiatric nurse, educator, writer, and artist.
