A Professor of Nursing Examines the Mind/Body/Spirit Connection

Explore how the mind, body and spirit all connect to aid healing in nurse Helen L. Erickson’s Modeling and Role-Modeling: A View From the Client’s World

Cedar Park, Texas (PRWEB) June 11, 2006

In professor Helen L. Erickson’s Modeling and Role-Modeling: A View From the Client’s World, health care providers can explore how the mind, body and spirit all interact to affect health and quality of life, enabling them to better help their clients grow and heal.

What makes a great health care provider? Erickson takes a holistic view, suggesting that optimum care requires an understanding that there is a connection between mind, body and spirit. Using the Modeling and Role-Modeling (MRM) theory, she emphasizes that caregivers must discover the individual client’s perspective and model their care accordingly.

Under Erickson’s guidance, contributors to her book give directions on how to put this theory into practice. Divided into three sections, Modeling and Role-Modeling: A View From the Client’s World first explores the mind/body/spirit connection and how to discover our life purpose. The next section clarifies various constructs, such as heart to heart connections, and explores factors that help or impede growth. The last section addresses the healing of traumatic occurrences.

We are spiritual beings first, says Erickson, and we should be fearless in sharing our spirit with others, and addressing our own needs as well as the needs of those for whom we care. This is a book that helps people grow, develop, heal, and most importantly, discover their true selves.
