Health Promotion: Mobilizing Strengths to Enhance Health, Wellness, and Well-Being is a groundbreaking text in the field of nursing, and an important addition to any nurse or student nurse’s personal library.
Based on the Theory of Healthiness, this innovative text offers a unique perspective on the nurse’s role in facilitating health and well-being. Author Susan Leddy takes the fresh approach of focusing on human strengths as resources for health, rather than focusing on client problems, needs, or weaknesses. She stresses the importance of the role of the nurse in promoting positive human strengths to aid and foster manifestations such as well-being, harmony, and growth.
