  • Title: Meaning holism in caring practice.
    Author: Nordby H.
    Journal: Holist Nurs Pract; 2008; 22(2):87-96. PubMed ID: 18317287.
    Abstract:
    Drawing on Ludwig Wittgenstein's influential theory of concept possession, the article argues that assumptions about meaning in patients' linguistic communities normally play an important role in nurse-patient communication. Case studies are used to clarify the significance of the sociocultural dimension of understanding in caring practice.
