Health as Expanding Consciousness

Health and illness are not opposed, and disease is not an enemy that strikes a victim. Rather, health and disease are synthesized parts of a unitary whole, dialectically fused in an individual and the envir onment. This book offers a vital new approach, focusing on the pattern of the whole and advancing caring as the key moral and professional i mperative for promoting health. Essential for all nursing and health c are educators, practitioners, and students.
