Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Theory and Nursing Routledge Key Themes in
Book SynopsisDespite noteworthy exceptions, nursing's literature largely disregards the ways in which social and sociological theory permeates, guides and shapes research, education, and practice. Likewise, social theory's ability to position nursing within wider structures of healthcare and educational provision is similarly and puzzlingly downplayed. The questions nurses ask and the problems they face cannot however, adequately be addressed without engaging with social and sociological theory and, to progress this engagement, contributors to this book explore how social theories are used by and might apply to nursing and nursing practice. The book draws on a wide range of perspectives philosophical, theoretical, empirical and political to offer a robust and wide-ranging critique and analysis. Social Theory and Nursing is essential reading for nursing researchers, academics and educators, as well as scholars and researchers in medical sociology, medicine and allied health.Trade Review‘This text provides a timely resource for nurses undertaking research with a social theoretical dimension. All too frequently social theory receives insufficient attention in nursing research. Or, when discussed, very specific (often simplistic or incomplete) interpretations of social theory are offered. Contributors to this volume seek to redress this imbalance with concise explanations of key theorists and theories and, also, examples of the relevance of social theory to and in nursing practice. The book is highly recommended.’ - Bernie Garrett, University of British Columbia, Canada 'The strengths of the book include the diversity of scholarship involved from well-known contributors. The attempt to address theoretical misconceptions as they apply to nursing is to be highly commended. There is an urgent need for a much wider understanding of critical concepts to allow nurses to critique contextualise their practice, and this book goes a long way to doing so. I found myself highlighting sections and inwardly nodding away, for example Rolfe on C Wright Mills, Aranda on Feminism, Nairn on the Purpose and Scope of nursing and Porter on Critical Realism. It is about time! Those without any social science grounding might find this literature difficult, which is however kind of one of the points being addressed – the need for a more critical and deeper understanding of social theory and nursing. There was a recognition of the existence of an ‘alien’ literature in its preparation so this is a challenge. However, the chapters are diverse enough to allow readers to start where they feel comfortable before engaging in more challenging material. The wish to stimulate inquiry and discussion is laudable. This is a must read for those interested in the social sciences and nursing, and should be read more widely by the nursing community in general' - Benny Goodman, Plymouth University, UK‘This text provides a timely resource for nurses undertaking research with a social theoretical dimension.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Complexity and Values in Nurse Education
Book SynopsisThis work explores the interplay of complexity and values in nurse education from a variety of vantages. Contributors, who come from a range of international and disciplinary backgrounds, critically engage important and problematic topics that are under-investigated elsewhere. Taking an innovative approach each chapter is followed by one or more responses and, on occasion, a reply to responses. This novel dialogic feature of the work tests, animates, and enriches the arguments being presented. Thought-provoking, challenging and occasionally rumbustious in tone, this volume has something to say to both nurse educators (who may find cherished practices questioned) and students. Given the breadth and nature of subjects covered, the book will also appeal to anyone concerned about and interested in nursing's professional development/trajectory. Trade ReviewRoger Watson – Professor of Nursing, University of Hull (UK), editor-in-chief of Nurse Education in Practice.I look forward to having a copy of this fine volume on my shelf. The international line-up assembled by Martin Lipscomb for this edited work should be a sufficient indicator of both the quality of the content and its readability. The format represents the best in free speech, robust debate and transparency, all values that are being rapidly eroded in society – an erosion that is also affecting debate within nursing and nursing education.The work brings together some of the ‘biggest hitters’ in terms of recent developments in nursing research, philosophy, practice and education. Moreover, contributors have been carefully chosen. Some publicly disagree—politely—about aspects of nursing, and knowing many of the contributors, their personalities as well as their views are on display.The book focuses on matters philosophical and ethical. There is no fixed format except that each chapter is accompanied by one or more responses and, often, a reply to responses. Anyone engaged in nursing education will immediately identify with the issues discussed. Many ‘nails are hit on the head’ and there is valuable advice here for aspiring nurser educators.Miriam Bender – Associate Professor and Founding Director of the Center for Nursing Philosophy, Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing, University of California, Irvine (USA).This anthology addresses an important topic. Chapters provide philosophical dialogue on a wide range of current debates, and the book provides rich material for disciplinary thinking about the future of nursing education and practice.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.Pain is (or may not be) what the patient says it is – professional commitments: objects of study or sacrosanct givens? 2.Who wants a radical nursing curriculum? 3.Moral Realism: Is it plausible? 4.No Moral Compass: A Critique of the Goals and Methods of Contemporary Nursing Ethics Education. 5.Metaphysics and research education in nursing. 6.Making Sense in Nursing Education. 7.Educational Entropy in the 21st Century: A failure to adapt? 8.The social mandate of nursing: a mandate unfulfilled. 9.Meillassoux, correlationism, and phenomenological transcript analysis.
