The spirit of nursing and its healing art: a Jungian perspective. 1995

J Richmond

Timely change is in the air as interest grows in the riches of nursing literature and other creative arts of nursing. Using Jungian and sociological concepts, this article takes a personal look at the literature's contribution to the profession. As the image of contemporary nursing is redefined, the power of the creative is evident, both in its grounding effect on individual practice and its unifying and strengthening potential for a changing profession.
