Mental ill health represents not only an immense psychological, social and economic burden to society, but also increases the risk and complexity of physical illnesses. Recognising that neuropsychiatric conditions account for 13% of total Disability Adjusted Life Years lost globally, and are estimated to increase to 15% by 2020 (WHO 2004), this book addresses the dynamic nature of professional mental health nursing across the lifespan.

Effective mental health care delivery is brought into sharp focus with the release of the Australian Senate Select Committee Report on Mental Health in March 2006. This specially commissioned issue of Contemporary Nurse considers mental health nursing from consumer, nursing practice and community health perspectives. It concludes with recommendations for nurse education, workplace training, and delivery of community care.

Violence, 'difficult to treat' disorders, cultural sensitivity, safety of psychotropic medications and application of mental health services in non-mental health settings are addressed from North American, Australian and New Zealand perspectives, which work to build evidence-based research to inform effective mental health practice.
