She is a qualified nurse (both Adult and Mental Health registrations), academic and practising psychotherapist, and is an accredited member of the British Association of Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists. Karen is also chair of an NHS Local Research Ethics Committee and has recently retired from the University of Central Lancashire where she was Professor of Nursing and has retained an active Emeritus role.

Mick McKeown is Professor of Democratic Mental Health, School of Nursing at the University of Central Lancashire and trade union activist with Unison.

He has taken a lead in making the case for union organising to extend to alliance formation with service users/survivors.
Industry Reviews

This is an excellent contemporary text and a must read for student all mental health nurses and those who are currently practicing in mental health. Amongst its many strengths are the critical and philosophical perspectives that provides excellent insights.

Who would have thought the second edition of Essentials of Mental Health Nursing could better the original? Chock full of excellent case studies, infused even more with the voice of those with lived experience, and highly interactive. The book really gets to the nub of what is essential in mental health nursing and will appeal to students and registered nurses alike. Beg, steal, or borrow a copy, you won't be disappointed!
