No one is going to like everything that Kobert and Folan say in this article, but it offers a rich bouquet of ideas for discussion and debate. Are they right to assert that holism and nursing process are incompatible? That nursing process is associated with an immature level of professional development? That holism is the answer for nursing? That holism equates with feminism while nursing process represents a masculine reductionism?
