Chapters include mental health hygiene in public health nursing, nursing the sick patient, teaching health, nursing the maternity patient, the child in his family, and relationships with coworkers. The book contains quite a bit ofconcerning patient attitudes toward health at the time, mental and physical health difficulties and the solutions available to nurses in 1940, and what careful observation on the part of the public health nurse might reveal about a patient. W. Frank Walker, Dr. P.H., has written the forward. A small obituary for Ruth Gilbert, removed from Nursing Outlook, has been kept with this volume.
