The roles that nurses can, and should, play in mental health care are diverse and this book addresses both well-trod as well as emerging concerns across the continuum of care from promotion to prevention to treatment. Importantly, at the heart of this diversity is the foundation of compassion and care, the hallmark of the nursing profession.\"" Vikram Patel, Professor of International Mental Health and Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow in Clinical Science, .
