Written by advanced practitioners for advanced practitioners and students of advanced practice, this practical text examines advanced practice in mental health across the lifespan in a manner designed to define the advanced practitioner’s role in mental health, support clinical decision making, encourage reflection, and promote evidence-based practice. Aligned to the four pillars of advanced practice (clinical practice, education, leadership, and research), it promotes a holistic approach to both patients and care givers, and helps to improve staff experience and to support the advanced practice journey.

This book is the second in a new series of titles, Demystifying Advanced Practice, which will make accessible all aspects of advanced practice for the benefit of students and aspiring students, practitioners, educators, researchers, managers, and leaders.
