Martha Rogers' vision has inspired generations of nurses to advance the boundaries of her Science of Unitary Human Beings. Rogers' Scientific Art of Nursing Practice is a valuable guide to Rogers' complex legacy and how her work continues to revolutionize our understanding of health and illness. - Back cover.

This book provides a glipse of the state of the scientific art of Rogers' work as currently practiced. The term scientific art was chosen to describe the inseparability of the art of Rogerian nursing practice from the philosophical and theoretical tenets of the Science of Unitary Human Beings. The art is integral with and exists through imaginative use of the science. The contributors are Rogerian scholars who are designing and implementing innovative practice applications. In addition to use by nurses practicing around the world, this text will find a home in schools of nursing, nursing centers, and other health care agencies that ground their programs in Rogers' science. In undergraduate and graduate courses in nursing science, students will welcome the increasing ability of authors to describe Rogers' work in less abstract, more easily understandable language. - Preface.
