Originally published in 1985, this book locates interpersonal skills in nursing in both social psychological and nursing contexts. It exposes nurses and nurse educators to different strategies for assessing, teaching and evaluating interpersonal skills and examines those aspects of specialised nursing care that raise particular issues in the field of interpersonal skills. The book thus combines reports of specific research studies with practical applications.Aimed at nurse educators ranging from tutors and those involved in training in specific nursing specialities to psychologists the book will be of relevance to advanced students, interested in interpersonal aspects of nursing and to practitioners.
