'I recommend that nurses interested in exploring the contribution of models should consult this and other titles in the series.' Moira Attree, Nursing Times 'For those who now use Peplau, this is a good, useful refresher. For others exploring nursing models and learning, I advise you to encourage your nursing library to purchase the whole series.
