A beginning theory of personal space boundaries.
The author claims that boundaries function as a filtering device to protect the individual from environmental overload and consequent disorganization. She describes the importance of boundary restoration, maintenance, and promotion in nurses and their clients. She then relates the concept of boundaries to other pertinent concepts and introduces a beginning theory of personal space boundaries.
