title: Solution-oriented therapy and Rogerian nursing science: an integrated approach.
abstract: This article describes an approach to counseling and therapy that integrates concepts from Martha Rogers' science of unitary human beings with a contemporary, strategic school of therapy called brief, solution-oriented therapy. The purpose of this discussion is to stimulate clinicians' interest in solving human problems by creative use of client strengths and patterns of living. A theoretical discussion of Rogers and of solution-oriented therapy is followed by many examples of clinical application from the author's practice. Resources for further learning are recommended.
