Caring: a Passage to Heart : An Anthology of Caritas Processes® Experienced

How do nurses care for themselves whilst they care for others? This keepsake book contains a collection of lived out stories written by care givers as they go about their day to day work, revealing a personal or professional truth or value system – exemplars of the Watson 10 Caritas Processes® – the core of the Theory of Human Caring.

‘I hope the caring moments described in this book will inspire and encourage readers as they travel their own unique caring paths.’ Kathleen Sitzman, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF, FAAN

‘These stories cross and transcend cultures, roles, professions, borders and boundaries in locations around the world. The Caritas stories and shared experiences unite us in our humanity, across time and space, congruent with an online virtual world of today, whereby space connects, rather than separates.’ Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN)

Watson Caring Institute’s Lotus Library proudly announce publication of an anthology of narratives displaying Watson’s 10 Caritas Processes® written by nurses and caregivers and compiled by Jean Watson and Marie Clayton. The collection in this book originated from participants taking a free online course entitled ‘Caring Science Mindful Practice’ facilitated by Kathleen Sitzman and compiled by course faculty associate Marie Clayton.
