CHOICE Review

Endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses' Association, this book can enlighten the nursing profession to understand the untapped capacity nurses have in the healing process. All four nurses who author this book have advanced degrees. The holistic approach as a body-mind-spirit process of living is explored, with the nurse's role in this process delineated. The role of the "nurse healer" is described in a unique fashion by incorporating ideas of philosophy and systems theory, all within a nursing process framework. This work also provides an inward explanation of nurses themselves to heighten their awareness and thus promote appropriate intervention strategies in the clinical practice. Holistic interventions are discussed in detail and include nutrition, exercise, the physical environment, relaxation, imagery, music therapy, play and laughter, relationships, touch, and self-reflection. Chapters conclude with useful notes, suggested readings, and recommended resources. Recommended for students and practitioners in nursing and for others interested in the growing movement of holistic health. -J. Blank, University of Arizona
