title: Review of research related to Parse's Theory of Human Becoming.
abstract: Ninety-three retrievable studies guided by the human becoming theory between 1985 and 2006, are reviewed. A summary of the studies is tabulated according to the two basic human becoming research methods, the human becoming applied research method, and other qualitative research methods using human becoming as the frame of reference. The authors provide an overview of the studies and the human becoming research methods and further illuminate the findings of studies reviewed under four major themes that describe the phenomena studied.
