The Human Becoming School of Thought: A Perspective for Nurses and Other Health Professionals

In her latest book the renowned nursing scholar Rosemarie Rizzo Parse revisits the concepts first presented in her seminal work Man-Living Health: A Theory of Nursing and prepares the groundwork for further exploration as we enter the twenty-first century.

Developing from philosophical foundations laid down by Martha Rogers and the existential phenomenologists, Parse′s theory of human becoming has evolved into a school of thought, enabling nurses and nursing scholars to understand people and their universe in a unique way, thus providing a human science context for nursing research and practice.
