Can't find the theory you're looking for?

Unfortunately, we haven't yet found or created an Internet presence for some theorists. We have had mail from nurses looking for websites for Dorothy Johnson and Marilyn Friedman's Family Nursing Model. Pages for Joyce Travelbee and Joyce Fitzpatrick are under construction. If you are knowledgeable about a theory and would like to create and maintain a page, please contact us to discuss your ideas.

If you know of a website that we should link, please let us know.
