Health as expanding consciousness
Book • 1986
Margaret A. Newman's 'Health as Expanding Consciousness' offers a nursing theory that reconceptualizes health and disease as expressions of a person's pattern of consciousness.
Newman argues that what is typically labeled as illness may represent a process of transformation leading to higher levels of awareness and integration.
The book presents clinical examples and philosophical foundations supporting a holistic approach to care, emphasizing meaning and pattern over symptom suppression.
It has influenced holistic nursing and practitioners interested in the interplay of body, mind, and spirit in healing.
The text encourages caregivers to view crises as opportunities for patients' personal and communal growth.
