This publication from WHO and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) summarizes information on the numbers, training, roles and responsibilities of nurses in the mental health field. The most consistent finding in the study is the severe shortage of nurses providing mental health care in most low and middle income countries. This information has been collected from 172 countries from all regions of the world.--Publisher's description.
