title: Energy fields nursing: a brief encounter of a unitary kind.
abstract: This paper explores the practical application of Martha Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings using a brief case study to illustrate the central concept of energy fields. Pattern manifestation appraisal and deliberative mutual patterning gave guidance for the care of a patient who had recently had a bilateral mastectomy. It is suggested that far from being a complicated and esoteric framework, the Science of Unitary Human Beings will have considerable impact on future nursing practice.
