    Psychiatric Certification Review Guide for the Generalist and Clinical Specialist in Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing

    Book by Clare Houseman. Health Leadership Associates 646 pages Paperback Published 1998-07-15. Description: Published by Health Leadership Associates, The Certification Review Specialists.

    Designed specifically to assist Psychiatric nurses and Clinical Specialists in Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing prepare for certification examinations administered by the ANCC. Detailed content organized to facilitate retention and recall. Test questions follow each chapter. Beneficial in the clinical setting as a reference source

        • Review:: 'Nurse practitioner review I am finding this book helpful in preparing for my ANCC exam.
        • Review:: 'Frank R. Spellman This is the best text on the subject that I have found and read.
        • Review:: 'Not too many other choices available This is one of the few books available as a study guide for the psychiatric NP boards. The ANCC guide won't be out until 2003, sad to say. The book's main selling point is the number of practice questions... but some of this material is quite dated. Even considering that the book is from 1998, and there have been sweeping changes in psychiatry since then - some of this stuff is ancient. The psychodynamic / Freudian explanation of bipolar disorder?? Tricyclics used as first line antidepressants, rather than the equally-efficacious-but-less-lethal SSRIs?
          The book does support a number of "alternative" and often questionable therapies - such as holding therapy for attachment disorder - but this is probably par for the course in psych books. The text could use a little more emphasis on empirically validated methods.
          Having said that, the book has a good chapter on ethical / legal issues, and the practice questions are useful. And you don't have too many other choices.
          Do note that some of the practice question keys have incorrect answers in them- the answer selected as 'correct' is in direct contradiction to the text. (Example: the MAOI interaction question in the mood disorder section.) Try to think of it as a method of testing your own security in the validity of your knowledge!
          For psychopharmacology review, this book is useless (to be fair, this is partly due to its age). Use Stahl's psychopharmacology text instead.

    The Children's Hospital Guide to Your Child's Health and Development

    Book by Children's Hospital Boston. Perseus Publishing 816 pages Paperback Published 2002-11. Description: ...the most complete, authoritative and up-to-date guide to child health and development made available to parents.. .contains a detailed account of all aspects of normal development from birth through the school years and more!
        • Review:: 'It's a MUST have This book is awesome. I'm a mother of 2 and didn't need any help with my first child, but my second child was very difficult and I found this to be an invaluable resource. It even lets you know when you should contact your doctor or when you should head to the emergency room. Being from Boston, I know that Boston Children's Hospital is one of the best in the nation. What is also great about this book is that it covers the developmental tasks of a typical child for a specific age group. It is a great basis to know if your child is under or over performing and helps you find your strengths and weaknnesses. It also has all of the growth charts in the back and an amazing appendix of different child illnesses. Anything you could possible want to know or have questions about when and if you need to be concerned is in here. It's like a Bible!
        • Review:: 'The Only Guide that New Parents Need! If you are about to have your first child, buy this book. If one of your children or grandchildren is about to have a first child, give this book to her or him as a gift. If you like this book as much as I think you will, you should consider having a copy at home and one in each of the family cars for situations that arise while away from home.

          This book deserves more than five stars. It is the only comprehensive guide to childhood development and illnesses that I have seen. The content is remarkable for being easy to understand, concise, and representing many different perspectives (including those of moms, dads, elder siblings, physicians, and other health care professionals). The book exudes a respectful sense of optimism that parents will do a good job, and avoids taking stands about issues related to religious preferences. At the same time, the book is quite up-front about pointing out what works best for children and their families.

          The book is organized so that the first four sections deal with developmental issues, from learning to mimic to toilet training to dealing with jealous siblings to school adjustment, on through the school age years in considerable detail. The fifth part gives you information on childhood illnesses, injuries, and conditions.

          I particularly liked the way the development sections talked about how children usually regress just before making a major development, and that this is healthy. The book even points out the good sides of childish outbursts. I wish someone had told me these things many years ago!

          Having been a parent of four children over the last 30 years, I checked out the book against every illness, emergency, and developmental issue that I ran into for my own children and their friends. In each case, there was relevant material that told me more than I knew when I had to deal with each of these issues, despite having read every book on child care that I could lay my hands on prior to the experience. In particular, the book is very good at explaining both the near-term and the long-term consequences of a situation. For example, one of our children went into severe convulsions with a sudden spike in fever to 106 degrees. The book points out that this happens to about five percent of all children, more often to boys, and that there usually are no long-term consequences. I wish I had known that at the time.

          I would especially like to praise the chapter on child care, which has 31 pages that summarize the best and latest research on how to select the right kind of child care if both parents work. You even get what the ratio of child-care people should be to children at different ages. Further, there's an excellent section earlier on what's involved when a child is sick, including how parents should think about how to balance their work and the needs of a sick child who needs a parent at home.

          Of particular value to new parents will be the sections in each area called "When to Call the Doctor" which gives you a sense of not only "when" but "how quickly" you should seek help.

          To get some idea of how contemporary and extensive this book is, you will find a section on "Body Piercing Infections."

          Unlike many books on childhood and pediatric illnesses, this one is not the views of one person. Instead, over 80 physicians and pediatric experts combined to share their expertise, drawing on individuals practicing at Boston Children's Hospital or teaching at Harvard Medical School. I have great faith in Boston Children's Hospital having often taken our children there to deal successfully with important illnesses. I am also pleased to say that one of our children has survived the experience to become a staff member in the hospital's emergency room.

          The section on emergencies is not only good, it is also organized to help you prepare to handle emergencies before they occur . . . and to avoid them in some cases. Those pages are rimmed in pink so you can find them quickly if you are in a panic.

          Give children the best informed and most loving attention you can!

        • Review:: 'Brand new and a must have! I have been a pediatric nurse for 25 years and a parent for 15. I wanted to get a reference book for new parents and found this one published this year. I'm a big fan of Dr. Brazelton and his Touch Points which are included here regarding child development. The disease section was very thorough and I particularly liked the asthma section. It has the most recent treatment modalities laid out simply and clearly. I bought this at a regular bookstore for full price because I had to see for myself if it was of any value. It is an excellent reference, a "must have" for any parent. ....
        • Review:: 'Calms the New-Parent Jitters! I bought this book for my brother and his wife, new parents of a 10-week old girl, after the baby got her first cold. We wished we had bought this excellent manual sooner! Not only would the common-sense approach have calmed the new parents, but we could have saved an expensive doctor visit. The book has an extensive illness section that appeals to men who just want the facts, plus offers lots of tips and sidebar articles. A keeper!
