Sour grapes and 'holistic' academic publishing
Having been a student on several occasions, an independent scholar and online for the past decade (I was a late arrival) something is really getting on my pips.
When I see an Editorial entitled -
in an established publication -
There is a commitment within holistic nursing to explore and refine terminology and frameworks that will enhance the care of patients and provide understanding about the healing process. To accomplish this directive, manuscripts will be published that provide an in-depth analysis of existing, alternatives, or extensions of concepts, frameworks, or theories associated with holism and holistic health and nursing. Holistic nursing involves a complex view of the individual, family, and environment that is constantly being challenged by new and emerging paradigms and information that furthers the ability to understand humans as multidimensional and pandimensional beings.
holistic value inherent in Hodges' model.
So come on just a whisper - who Dares...?
