Nursing Theorists and Their Work, 9th Edition, is a textbook edited by Martha Raile Alligood that examines 39 theorists of historical, international, and significant importance. It combines comprehensive theoretical overviews, objective critiques, and philosophies to help connect theory with clinical application.
The volume addresses the evolution of nursing theoretical works, the theory development process, and the structure of specialized nursing knowledge. It also explores philosophies, conceptual models, and theories across six graphically depicted levels of abstraction.
Scholars who specialize in each theorist's work author the individual theorist chapters. Each of these chapters concludes with a case study designed to demonstrate how the theory applies to practice.
