Nurses and Families: A Guide to Family Assessment and Intervention

Rating:
Summary: User Friendly-But what about us students?
Review: This book deals on a very indepth level as to the inner workings of the family,and the assessment and interventions required to facilitate healing. I found the book to be very user friendly; it outlines the categories for assessment and intervention in a concise manner, as well as the diagramming of communication patterns which I found invaluable. For students it would have been beneficial for Wright and Leahey to include a completed CFAM and CFIM to give the reader a complete picture of the whole process. Overall, this is an excellent tool for any nurse to use in their practice.
