title: Awakening the feminine spirit in nursing.
abstract: Within each of us exists the elements of the masculine and the feminine. Carl Jung first introduced these concepts in his explanation of the components of human behavior. Marion Woodman, a Jungian analyst from Toronto, has brought our attention to the imbalance of the masculine and feminine within human nature. Her work, as well as the work of Stephen Levine, has inspired the author to direct her attention to the implications for nursing.
