Hildegarde E Peplau

Résumé du livre

Cheryl Forchuk provides an easily understood overview of Peplau's Interpersonal Nursing Theory which identifies the therapeutic nurse-client relationship as the crux of nursing. The author shows how this theory enables nursing to move away from a 'doing to' to a 'doing with' relationship with patients and develop as a profession that promotes health in the individual. The book begins with a brief biography of Peplau, and continues with a succinct discussion of the theory.
