"This book has it all: a truly holistic nursing perspective that addresses the client as a whole person, and integrative evidence-based recommendations for care that include complementary-alternative therapies that transcend traditional care for chronic disease. This book is a treasure, and should be on every professional nurse's bookshelf." -- Mary Anne Bright , RN, CS, EdD, Author of Holistic Health and Healing . "This book is worth having for its remarkably extensive list of references for evidence-based interventions alone -- almost 1,000! As a resource for nurses using a holistic framework (body/mind/spirit and relationships) in their care of clients with chronic conditions, this book is a 'must.' I wholeheartedly recommend it!" -- Paula LeVeck , RN, MS, PhD "This book is a much--needed volume and will significantly contribute to the knowledge base of all nurses. The strategies provided are creative yet practical enough to be implemented." -- Carol Ann Esche , RN, ND, MA, CAN, John Hopkins School of Nursing.
