Leininger′s theory defines care as the essence and dominant domain of nursing, and is unique in suggesting that patient need and the resulting intervention should be determined by culture and lifestyle. This book presents a brief biography of the theorist as well as an extensive overview of the theory, including examples of its practical applications.
