Parse's Theory in Practice with a Group in the Community

The author, a nurse guided by Parse's theory of human becoming, describes one way to focus on quality of life in person-centered practice with a group in the community, in contrast to traditional nursing practice with groups in which the focus is on problems, learning, and socially-defined responsibility. The author describes living true presence over a 10-week period in accord with Parse's practice method with a group of persons with genital herpes. Emerging patterns of health of the group are reported along with a loose agenda for community-based practice.
