This course builds on knowledge and skills acquired in NUR 723 (Practicum I) and provides the student with the opportunity to integrate and apply knowledge acquired in other course work. Theory of group therapy structure and process, practice models, and collaboration with mental health consumer/advocacy groups are introduced and emphasized to fit with emerging health care delivery systems. Mental health policy and practice implications are reviewed as well as the fiscal consequences of public policy on mental health service delivery. Diagnosis of common physical illnesses that mimic psychiatric illness and common psychiatric symptoms that occur in physical illness are studied. Ethical dilemmas in practice are studied.
