Purpose:The book provides nurses with a handy reference for use in holistic nursing.

This book is a helpful and necessary adjunct to lengthier texts.

Included in abbreviated form is information on philosophy, theory, ethics, education, research, communication, cultural diversity, and caring in holistic nursing. Each section presents an overview of the most important points of the concept synthesized from the larger text. The book uses the same format as the main text to deliver content, such as definitions of terms, brief content, self reflections, and resources relating to organizations, citations, or web sites.
