About This Book

The text introduces basic psychological concepts—consciousness, the unconscious, nervous system anatomy, and the relation of mind and body—and translates them into practical guidance for nurses. It outlines normal mental functions (instinct, memory, emotion, reason, will, judgment), describes variations and their causes, and emphasizes attention, suggestion, habit, and adaptability as forces affecting health. Chapters offer methods for gaining patients' points of view and managing delusions or obsessions, and prescribe self-training for nurses in perception, concentration, memory, emotional equilibrium, and willpower, arguing that psychological care must accompany physical treatment.
