The most comprehensive of its kind, this classic resource in the field of nursing theory provides an in-depth look at 49 theorists of historical, international, and significant importance. Each chapter features a clear, consistent presentation of a key nursing philosophy or theory. Case studies and critical thinking activities help bridge the gap between theory and application.

A case study at the end of each theorist chapter puts the theory into a larger perspective, helping you understand how the information can be applied to practice.
A Major Concepts & Definitions box in each theorist chapter outlines and summarizes the theory’s most significant ideas and clarifies content-specific vocabulary.
Each theorist chapter concludes with an extensive bibliography outlining numerous primary and secondary sources of information ideal for research projects.
Critical Thinking Activities at the end of each theorist chapter challenge you to process the theory presented and apply it to personal and hypothetical practice situations.
Introductory chapters provide you with a strong foundation in the history and philosophy of science, logical reasoning, and the theory development process.
Diagrams for theories help you visualize and better understand inherently abstract concepts.
Each theorist chapter is written by a scholar specializing in that particular theorist’s work ― often an individual who has worked closely with the theorist.
Most chapters have been reviewed and edited by the theorist for currency and accuracy, further validating the accounts set forth in the text.
Theorist birth (and if applicable, death) dates help you place each individual into a time context.

A new chapter introduces the theorist Afaf Meleis and covers her Transition Theory that has helped shape the theoretical development of nursing.

Points for further study at the end of each chapter direct you to assets available for additional information.

Need to know information is highlighted in at-a-glance summary boxes throughout to help you quickly review key concepts.

Personal quotes from the theorists help you gain insight and make each complex theory more memorable.

Updated references include only published works to ensure accuracy and credibility.

Take an in-depth look at the people and theories shaping nursing practice today

From the Author

This text is now in its 7th edition and referred to as a classic comprehensive nursing theory text. This text introduces the reader to nursing theory and presents the essential nature of theory to nursing knowledge. It is important to remember that professional nursing is patient focused and the professional nurse is able to articulate and describe the theoretical perspective of her or his practice. That is, professional nurses are able to say: this is who I am, this is what I do, and this is how I do it.

Martha Raile Alligood, RN, PhD, ANEF

Dr. Alligood is Professor Emeritus, College of Nursing, East Carolina University. She holds a diploma in nursing from Good Samaritan School of Nursing, bachelor of sacred literature (BSL) from Johnson University, BSN from University of Virginia, MS with a major in nursing from The Ohio State University, and PhD in nursing science from New York University.

Her practice has included nursing of adults in orthopedics, tropical diseases, mental health and older adults. She discovered her love of teaching nursing on the mission field as Director of the School of Nursing at Mashoko Christian Hospital in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) Africa, and completed her nursing education for a career as a nurse educator.

Her research includes theory development and testing in adults, nursing empathy, and the art of nursing. She has numerous presentations,publications and honors. She is best known for expertise in nursing curricula, nursing theory and knowledge development having taught doctoral (PhD) students and directed dissertations for over 20 years. Prior to Marriner Tomey's retirement she co-authored/edited the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th editions of Nursing Theorists and Their Work and 1st and 2nd edition of Nursing Theory: Utilization & Application with her. Alligood completed subsequent editions: the 7th edition of Nursing Theorists and their Work in 2010, the 8th edition in 2014, the 9th edition in 2018 and the 10th edition is in press for a fall 2021 release of the 2022 edition; she produced the 4th and 5th editions of Nursing Theory: Utilization & Application in 2010 and 2014. Mosby-Elsevier is her publisher. The books have been published in many languages and are used by nurses around the world. In 2012, Dr. Alligood participated in a discussion of nursing theory in education and practice between ECU nursing faculty and nursing faculty in Nicaragua through web media at East Carolina University, College of Nursing, a partner with the University of Nicaragua where nursing faculty use the Spanish translation of Nursing Theorists and Their Work.

Dr. Alligood has received numerous honors and awards in her career: Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS) Distinguished Researcher award in 2006, Academy of Nursing Education fellow in 2007, ECU Woman of Distinction in 2008, Delta Epsilon Chi in 2009, and became a member of the Board of Trustees at Johnson University in 2010. She was contributing editor for the Theoretical Concerns column in Nursing Science Quarterly, Vol. 24, Sage Publication in 2012. In consultation with Fitne, Inc. in Athens, Ohio, Dr. Alligood interviewed 6 noted theorists for Vol. 2 of The Nurse Theorists: Portraits of Excellence in 2008 and 6 additional theorists for Vol. 3 in 2016. The Nursing Theory Portraits of Excellence DVD/videos are available at fitne.net in Athens, Ohio.

She has served as a consultant to clinical agencies and colleges of nursing on curricula, nursing knowledge development and theory based practice. Guest speaker for Sigma Theta Tau inductions, nursing pinning ceremonies and numerous nursing theory conferences.

Dr. Alligood favors this quote: "Theory without practice is empty and practice without theory is blind" (K. Patricia Cross, 1981, p. 110).

Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love this book, I didn't buy it originally for my grad school courses, but ended up looking for it and buying it a few semesters later as I kept wishing I still had a copy of it. I'll definitely keep this one for my nursing "library" as I work on my PhD and will certainly keep it after my dissertation. It's nice to have one place to flip through and consider a bunch of different theorists and theories. Incorporating theorists and nursing theories into research and care seems weird at first, but I feel this book helps and is a great reference. I may buy a newer edition (the 8th is out) in the future, but the 7th is what I used in class, and was cheaper, so I went for that one for now until the price drops on the 8th (which will probably be when the 9th comes out!).

This was a required book for nursing research class in graduate school. This was a very helpful & interesting book to read! There were a couple of the theorists that graduated from the school I am attending, and was able to meet one of them. Very good book!

A Classic Handbook on Nursing Theory

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Verified Purchase

This is a good clean, albeit yellowing edition of Tomey & Alligood's classic. It appears to be a well-loved and much used university copy that is about 1/4 larger in thickness from the 5th edition. Gone is the list of personal contact information for featured theorists and there are different chief reviewers. However, the bulk of the book appears comparable to the 5th edition. Older editions such as these may still be quite helpful to nursing students, especially because they can contain information of historical interests, including synopses of theories that have been eliminated in subsequent works.

A Book That Shows Autonomy In Nursing

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

A mandatory book but one that I thoroughly enjoyed for my Family Nurse Practitioner class. This book is well written and gets to the core of the nurses and their theories. It is an eye-opener on the autonomy of the field of nursing. Great book that I have definitely decided to keep and will not be reselling.

Where is Lillian Wald?

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

The book is very accessible and easy to read. Bear in mind that it's not a long exposition of theories of any one nursing theorist, but a compilation of the major strands of thought of many theorists. From there, you can do more research on any theorist(s) you are interested in. One big disappointment was the absence of Lillian Wald. Surely the founder of the Henry Street Settlement deserves a couple of pages in this book?
