Book Description
The nurse is central to healthcare and has always been the most prominent figure in times of vulnerability throughout the life cycle. The Soul of the Nurse uncovers the complexity of the nurse by tracing her origins as far back as Neolithic times. The author explains how, over time, the nurse image has been split into one-dimensional disguises ranging from angelic heroine to sex object. Without moralizing or dividing the good from the bad, this book investigates the dynamic energy of the nurse archetype and uncovers what has been lost through splits, repressions, and distortions. Mythology, folklore, archeology, and popular culture are explored, while considering history and archetypal psychology, revealing new insights into the vast capacities of the nurse. Through personal and collective stories, The Soul of the Nurse reveals why the nurse captivates the imagination and is the most trusted professional in society.
