Anthroposophic nursing care goes beyond the communicative approach of soft skills. Nurses form a bridge between treatment of the body and treatment of the patient’s soul and spirit by actively valuing the human body, paying attention to touch, using warmth, cold, air, and light to promote healing processes, and much more. Although physical wellbeing, autonomy, and youthfulness are central to our modern materialistic culture, our bodies actually receive little respect and appreciation, especially when they become ill and eventually old. Nursing values need to be rediscovered that respect the debased human being, embrace illness as a part of existence, and allow time for healing. A key aspect of this book involves the idea and practice of “nursing gestures,” relating inner attitudes and practical nursing activities to one another in detail through numerous examples and overviews. 

Anthroposophic Nursing Practice shows not only the possibility, but also the practical experience of nursing care, which aims to be both holistic and optimistic. The knowledge and perspectives gathered in this book have matured through the work of several generations of anthroposophically oriented nurses, all striving to refine a truly integrative nursing practice. 

This unique book will no doubt become the classic text on the important practice of anthroposophic nursing.

This book is a translation from German of Anthroposophische Pflegepraxis—Grundlagen und Anregungen für alltägliches Handeln, 4th edition (Salumed Verlag, Berlin, Germany, 2017). Translated from the German by Carol Brousseau.
