• "It is a well-organized compilation of papers from the fifth and sixth Rogerian Conferences (1994 and 1996). This is a necessary reference for any Rogerian scholar and an important supplementary resource for a nursing theory class at the graduate level. The text reflects the varied work of prominent, established scholars in Rogerian science as well as those newer to the conceptual system. The diverse contributions reflect playful, creative imaginings, as well as thoughtful systematic analysis, and extend the theoretic, empiric, and practice dimensions of the conceptual system."
