FADavis_Curtis_FM.qxd 10/2/08 4:16 AM Page v The authors dedicate this book to the nursing students of Trident Technical College, whose eager- ness to learn motivates us to teach mental health nursing concepts in a way that is clear and read- ily understood. We have a passion for promoting mental health and hope to transfer this passion to our students by encouraging our students to critically think through application test questions. We would like to thank Bob Martone, Alan Sorkowitz, and Padraic Maroney for giving us the opportunity to realize this goal. Working together has increased our knowledge, deepened our friendships, and reinforced our appreciation for good wine. A special thanks to Ramsay Hawkins for his patience during crisis situations, technical expertise, and memory sticks, all of which contributed to a successful project. —Cathy Melfi Curtis Audra Fegley Carol Norton Tuzo I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my sister, Sally. She was also a nursing instruc- tor and would have appreciated the time and effort that went into this book. Also, I would like to thank my children, Scott, Emily, and Katie, who were supportive and patient during the project development. I’m now available to babysit the grandchildren, Tessa, Bobby, Eve, Willie, and Addy. —Cathy Melfi Curtis This book is dedicated to my loving husband, Damon, whose patience and understanding gave me strength; to my parents, Bonnie and Stan Baker, who listened attentively, always believed in me, and reminded me to laugh; and, lastly, to “the girls,” my fellow authors. I would never have wanted to be on this journey without the both of you. Much love. —Audra Fegley I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my husband, George Lawrence Tuzo, whose support and encouragement saw me through nursing school; also, to the memory of my parents, Astrid and Eric Norton, who always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and have fun along the way. Thanks also to my children, Steve, David, and Monique, for the many uplifting phone calls. —Carol Norton Tuzo FADavis_Curtis_FM.qxd 10/2/08 4:16 AM Page vi FADavis_Curtis_FM.qxd 10/2/08 4:16 AM Page vii Reviewers Georgia Anderson, MSN Professor Salt Lake Community College Salt Lake City, Utah Linda L.
