Theorists and Theories
Last update: 15 June 2012,
by Maureen Bell
As I'm often asked to provide information on theories of
personality or therapeutic methods I thought a list of links to
readings and biographical information would be useful.
Lists of books and journal articles relating to individual
theories or therapetic methods can be found on my bibliographies and reading lists page. Just look up the name of the therapeutic method or theory.
For additional sites covering nursing theorists and
philosophical schools see my nursing
