There are actually some nursing theories–specifically those under the model of Transformation, which is apparently 1975-onwards–which are completely New Agey and waaay more useless than Roy’s theory. Roger’s theory of “Unitary Human Beings” defines humans as “indivisible energy fields defined by their patterns” and health as “a manifestation of constant and mutual exchange processes between the energy fields of the person and the environment.” Not only is that vague, it’s not even comprehensible to me.
