title: Complementary therapies and nursing models.
abstract: It is suggested that personal construct theory not only has the potential as a model for nursing, but also for complementary therapies, thus allowing complementary therapies or procedures from the therapies and nursing to blend, promoting a seamless integration that enables nurses to offer a wider range of interventions in their nursing care. By coming together in a therapeutic relationship using personal construct theory, it is possible for nurses to enhance the process of healing which is an integral part of nursing care.
