Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nursing and Care of the Nervous and the Insane IN the present edition of this work the author, with the assistance of Dr. Yawger, has endeavored to bring it more nearly up to date. Such a book cannot be regarded as giving all the information necessary to be known by nurses concerning patients suffering from nervous and mental maladies. Useful anatomical and physiological data are to be found in the volumes upon anatomy prepared for nurses and in more general treatises. The book is chiefly intended to recall facts regarding nursing obtained by experience. Attention has been particularly directed to some new facts regard ing epilepsy, fibrositis and insanity. New illustrations of the charts and the apparatus most useful in electrical practice have been added. The unusually fine motor point plates from Dr. Toby Cohn's excellent work on Electro-diagnosis and Electro-therapeutics have been obtained through the courtesy of the author and his publishers. Instruction regarding hydrotherapy, not included in previous editions, has been incorpo rated. The author trusts that the book in its revised form will be found more useful than previous editions.

Many books upon electricity and massage have been published, but these are either too voluminous, containing too much scientific or theoretical matter, or they are not adapted to the comprehension and purposes of nurses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Care for the Insane: A Manual for Nurses At the time of starting a training school, in 1883, the author was unaware that like work was commencing at the McLean Asylum, Somerville, Mass., by Dr. Campbell Clark and others in Scotland, and in New South Wales. Each was independent, and each worked out the problem independently. Thus, far separated efforts showed the time had come when attendants must be evolved into trained nurses. The most gratifying feature has been the unanimous approval by American superintendents and the establishment of training schools in almost every asylum in the land, often under the most difficult conditions and at a great sacrifice of the precious time and strength of the medical staff. The increasing number of these schools and pupils demands a second edition of this little manual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nursing the Insane A large number of the population of every State hospital is composed of chronic and presumably incurable cases, but many are susceptible of marked mental improvement, and some of recovery. These patients make up a large community of peculiar and trying persons. To deal with them wisely and kindly requires exceptional qualities of mind and character. The training of nurses and attendants for these patients must cover a much wider field than is comprised in the course of the ordinary trained nurse. The nurse for the insane must be prepared to care for the ordinary medical and surgical diseases of her patients, in addition to their mental ailments; for insanity does not exempt them from the other ills that flesh is heir to. She must safeguard them from injuring themselves or others, must possess many of the qualities that make a good teacher, since a part of her duty is to help correct faults in early train ing and development, and to encourage and train to correct and useful habits and proper behavior; she has also to employ and entertain her patients, under the direction of the medical officers; and to her is intrusted that almost constant association and companionship which, if sympathetic and judicious, is one of the most potent means of restoring her charges to mental health.

This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "management of emergencies, and finally the special work of caring for the insane. The wits of an attendant upon the insane have to be sharpened in many directions not required of a general nurse. The text-books on nursing may properly be followed by another, which shall aid one skilled as a nurse to perform the varied and difficult duties incident to the care of the insane and the wards of an asylum. To furnish this is the object of this manual. A brief review of the physiology of the nervous system is introduced for the aid of students, in reading the chapters on the mind and insanity. To teach any thing metaphysical or pathological may seem questionable. The class, however, has not only been interested in the simple study of the phenomena of the mind, but has been able to comprehend and profit by the lectures on this subject. The lectures on the care of the insane were given to the class almost as they appear in these pages. The suggestion was made that if they were [...]."

Book excerpt: "This little book is excellent. Dr. Granger deserves the thanks of all charitable people....If ever there was a book which needed no apology for its existence, this is that book. Who of us does not know that the 'wits of an attendant upon the insane have not to be sharpened in many directions not required by a general nurse.' Hence the necessity of a treatise which takes the subject where a general treatise upon nursing leaves it, and gives just the knowledge which this little book of Dr. Granger contains. The guiding principle of his book is that persons sent to the care of asylums must be considered as patients, which it must not be forgotten, are sick people, sent from their homes, to be cared for in asylums because it is believed that there they can be cared for better than their friends can care for them. To this end attendants are first instructed in the physical structure of a human being, that is, physiology, then in the care of that structure, that is, hygiene, after which comes, by study and experience, the mental characteristics, which is the metaphysical. In all these duties the good attendant must develop his self-control, his kindness, his judgment, his tact, to its greatest extent....Now it is just this sort of training which wouldn't hurt an of us. Who does not need a little development of his self-control and his kindness?" -Book Notes "This is a very practical little work, giving much information, and will be found of great service in the training of attendants.
