Jessie Williams – författare

Originally published in 1954 and as a second edition in 1957, this book provides a survey of the main psychological principles necessary to nurses in their work. As well as being a textbook for nurses in training, it was written in such a way as to be of value to qualified nurses as well. The author drew widely on her experience as psychologist in London Teaching Hospitals including Guys, Great Ormond Street and University College Hospital, and as a lecturer to nurses in training. She illustrates her theme with many practical examples drawn from hospital experience. This is a careful and scientific study of psychology applied to nursing which is readable and avoids the use of unnecessary technical terms.
