| Summary: | The theory of enfolding health-as-wholeness-and-harmony has been derived from the science of unitary human beings and provides an evolutionary understanding of Rogerian nursing practice that recognizes the existence of subtle and gross manifestations of field pattern and the dynamic matrix of subtle configurations of patterning identified as health-as-wholeness-and-harmony. Evolutionary change is specified to be a dynamic, non-linear, and acausal process characterized by the movement of gross manifestations of patterning to new syntheses of subtle manifestations of patterning. Rogerian nursing practice is identified as the nurse and client knowingly participating in evolutionary patterning of the human and environmental fields for the purpose of enfolding health-as-wholeness-and-harmony. |
