Hildegard Peplau's 50-year career in nursing left an indelible stamp on the profession of nursing, and on the lives of the mentally ill in this country. She wore many hats -- founder of modern psychiatric nursing, innovative educator, advocate for the mentally ill, proponent of advanced education for nurses, Executive Director and then President of the American Nurses Association, and prolific author. She raised her daughter as a single parent while pursuing an ambitious professional path. Her determined manner often aroused controversy which never deterred her commitment to advancing the nursing profession.

This review is from: Hildegard Peplau: Psychiatric Nurse of the Century (Hardcover)
To understand Peplau's theory of interpersonal relationships, I decided to read this book. Since Peplau was a detail person and kept all kinds of records, this book is filled with fascinating stories of her life.Through her stories pictures emerge of who Peplau was, the state of nursing in the first half of the century and the importance of her theory for nursing. One of her goals was to change nursing from a job to a profession. Early on, there was no set curriculum for nursing. The stories you will read will change you and make you enthusiastic about the nursing profession. I believe this book will inspire nurses and anyone will find it a fascinating life story.
