Description

Information on the authors of Humanistic Nursing (1988) has been gleaned from their book and from Nancy O'Connor's book Paterson and Zderad: Humanistic Nursing Theory (1993) as well as from communicating with Nancy O'Connor directly. She had contact with Drs. Paterson and Zderad and related that because of their retirement as well as their age they prefer not to be contacted further on their theoretical ideas. They would prefer other nurses to continue in their theory building in their stead. Nancy O'Connor, an Adult Nurse Practitioner, was an Assistant Professor of Nursing at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan (O'Connor, 1993).

Dr. Susan Kleiman, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Lehman College, City University of New York has worked with Josephine Paterson and Loretta Zderad for many years and has expressed that she will continue to develop and expand the theory of Humanistic Nursing. Her work and a list of articles and publications can be found on her web site http://www.humanistic-nursing.com (Kleiman, 2002) which is listed in the resources and on the reference page.

Josephine Paterson was born on the 1st of September of 1924 in Freeport, New York. To get some perspective of history and a sense of what occurred during their early and nursing years milestones will be noted. 1924 was the year that V. I. Lenin died, preserved and put on public display in Russia, J. Edgar Hoover was first appointed director of the FBI and the first of the Winter Olympic Games took place (About, 2003). Loretta Zderad was born in the summer of 1925 (June 7th) in Chicago, Illinois. To get some idea of the tempo of the times she entered, 1925 was the year that flapper dresses were in style and Hitler published Mein Kampf (About, 2003).
