1 comments about Hildegard Peplau: Psychiatric Nurse of the Century.

1. To understand Peplau's theory of interpersonal relationships, I decided to read this book. Since Peplau was a detail person and kept all kinds of records, this book is filled with fascinating stories of her life.Through her stories pictures emerge of who Peplau was, the state of nursing in the first half of the century and the importance of her theory for nursing. One of her goals was to change nursing from a job to a profession. Early on, there was no set curriculum for nursing. The stories you will read will change you and make you enthusiastic about the nursing profession. I believe this book will inspire nurses and anyone will find it a fascinating life story.

2 comments about The Singing Bird Will Come: An AIDS Journal.

1. The Singing Bird Will Come is a remarkable book by a man who is truly in touch with himself as he struggles with the reality of death. His strong desire to continue to celebrate life as he prepares to die makes a lasting impression on the reader. How the author comes to grips with communicating his journey is the focus of the book. He seems to follow Kubler-Ross's stages of death--denial, anger, bargaining with God, depression and finally, acceptance. He feels it is especially ironic that he has to come to accept his dying so soon after he had come to accept himself as a gay man. This story captures the well-balanced tension John Noonan experiences between continuing daily living and thinking of eternity. I recommend it highly for caregivers, service providers, and all of us who will prepare to die someday.
