A TEXT BOOK OF PSYCHOLOGY FOR BSC POST BASIC STUDENTS

The book entitled, “A Text book of psychology for nursing students” has flavor of its own both in scope and content distinctly different from a number of already existing text books on Psychology. The major thrust has been to make this book more students friendly, catering to the recent recommendations of Indian Nursing Council, for undergraduate students especially B.Sc. Nursing (Post Basic) in Psychology. Each chapter in the book is self contained and serves as dual teaching function to highlight the basic concepts and to relate them to psychological disorders. Topics have been explained according to the syllabus, avoiding unnecessary details as per the requirement and structure of the question paper.
At the end of each chapter, question bank is appended by which nursing students can evaluate themselves. It is hoped that the book will appeal to all nursing students as it fulfills their syllabi requirement with latest information.
We would like to express a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty God who is continuously giving the moral support and guidance required in all our deeds.
We owe a great deal of thanks to our Teachers, Mentor, Guide and friends who is the spirit of inspiration in taking up this project.
