About this ebook
The 3rd edition of Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse: A How-To Guide for Evidence-Based Practice (edited by Kathleen Wheeler, with contributions from Candice Knight and other experts) focuses on integrating a relationship-based, trauma-informed, and neurophysiologically-grounded framework into advanced nursing practice. [1, 2]
The textbook is divided into sequential sections covering everything from foundational neurobiology to core modalities and specialty populations: [1, 2]

  • Assessment, Diagnosis, & Case Formulation: Conducting comprehensive, trauma-informed biopsychosocial-spiritual assessments. [1]
  • The Initial Contact and Maintaining the Frame: Clinical logistics from the very first patient interaction through establishing professional boundaries. [1, 2]
2. Core Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Modalities

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Utilizing distress tolerance, mindfulness, and emotion regulation skills for complex trauma.

  • Trauma-Informed Medication Management: Delivering prescribing practices through a deeply empathetic, trauma-aware lens.
