For the author of this book, disease is not an "enemy" that strikes a "victim." Rather, health and disease comprise a unitary whole of individual and environment. Health as Expanding Consciousness is an inspiration to those seeking a full experience of personal health.

As nursing expands its scientific base and moves into more qualitative approaches, it is important that nursing students have the opportunity to know more about the nurse theorists that offer qualitative theories and methods. One such theorist is Margaret Newman. In Margaret Newman, Joanne Marchione offers an exceptional discussion on this preeminent nursing theorist. Marchione skillfully describes the origin of Newman's theory, the assumptions underlying the theory, the major concepts of meta-paradigm of nursing--including the nursing process--and propositions of the conceptual model itself. Also included are examples for application to practice and research (based on the author's years of continuous experimentation and application of Newman's theory), a bibliography of classic works, critiques and research, and a glossary of important terms.

Giving Voice to What We Know links Margaret Newman's Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness (HEC) with nursing knowledge development, clinical practice, education and curriculum development, research, and nursing administration. At a time when nurses are increasingly asked to justify their contribution to clinical practice outcomes, Giving Voice to What We Know serves as a guide for nurses to do so by articulating their contributions to both immediate and long-term changes in healthcare. Written by nurse educators who teach research and practice within the theoretical framework of HEC, the text provides clear examples of theory-based practice models, as well as a variety of practical examples for using the model to create a partnership with patients--the essence of nursing.

An Introduction to the Theoretical Basis of Nursing marked the advent of a new era in nursing science. With a view of nursing as a "learned profession," this landmark work staked out a substantive knowledge base for the discipline. The science of unitary human beings proposed by Rogers was a radical departure from all that had come before and is seen by many as pioneering the beginning of a paradigmatic shift within the profession.--PubMed.

As revealed by the author's very personal journey, expanding consciousness can indeed be achieved through a dedicated sequence of mind/body/spirit modalities. Dr. Ralph Kilmann candidly shares his earliest traumas and how he then investigated his fears and anxieties by actively participating in a great variety of wellness and healing modalities--such as talk therapy (psychoanalysis), Holotropic Breathwork, Holosync meditation, Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), Vipassana meditation, advanced structural alignment, electro-homeopathy, Pulsor chakra clearing, and many others. Through his intense experiences with all these mind/body/spirit modalities, Kilmann was able to resolve the unintended consequences that stem from specialized (and thus limited) efforts at living an examined life. Indeed, the author illuminates these fundamental lessons: Without already having a fairly conscious mind and a secure ego, you won't choose to work through the accumulated tension and painful memories in your body. And without maintaining an energetically flowing and feeling body, you won't have an easy time directly and continually experiencing the spiritual fabric of the universe. Stated differently, this book illustrates how participating in a sequence of mind/body/spirit modalities can transform childhood traumas into unique opportunities for awakening to your soul's purpose and then living your soul's purpose--which thereby sets you free. The Courageous Mosaic, however, also recognizes how the systems in society play a major role in either expanding or obstructing human consciousness. This book thus considers how organizations and institutions (including public schools, religious organizations, health-care organizations, governments, and workplaces) can be--must be--redesigned for conscious living. If this mission can be achieved, many more people (and not just a privileged few) will be able to achieve a higher level of human consciousness. Indeed, as Kilmann convincingly demonstrates, it's only by expanding consciousness in people--and their organizations--that humankind can wake up and stop war, violence, hatred, poverty, hunger, disease, hopelessness, and the destruction of our planet.
