I was so happy to find this book on Nursing Theory construction and concepts for a Nursing class I am teaching. It is very accessible. Also, thorough enough for my purposes of getting grounded again in how theory is evolved with the use of concept analysis to prepare students for writng a senior paper. This book is big improvement over older texts on the same topic!

The textbook is required for my doctoral studies in nursing. It is an excellent resource and I highly recommend it to any graduate or doctoral students.

This is a classic book on the construction of theory. It is very helpful for the novice graduate student who is starting to get used to the language and world of theory. It provides foundational material on theory development and utilization in practice and research. This book also serves as a ready reference for "seasoned" nurses when reflecting on theory development and modification.
