Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice, Fourth Edition guides nurses in the art and
science of holistic nursing and healing and offers ways of thinking, practicing, and
responding both personally and professionally. It addresses one's own self-healing while
also helping readers to offer new ways of healing to others. Using self-assessments,
relaxation, imagery, nutrition, exercise, and aromatherapy, it presents expanded
strategies for enhancing one's psychophysiology. Intended for students, clinicians,
educators, and researchers who desire to expand their knowledge of holism, healing, and
spirituality, Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice challenges the reader to explore
the inward journey toward self-transformation, to identify the growing capacity for change
and healing, and to bring healing to the forefront of health care.
