Theoretical Thinking

The year 2022 is Nursing Science Quarterly’s 35th year in publication, and we are interested in dialoging with some of the discipline’s nurse theorists. We hope to uncover some influences and origins of their theoretical thinking and hear about their current projects related to nursing science. In this Scholarly Dialogue column, we dialogue with Dr. Jean Watson, nurse theorist, director of the Watson Caring Science Institute, and Distinguished Professor/Dean Emerita of University of Colorado Denver, College of Nursing.

Psychedelic therapies intentionally combine a caring/healing environment, psychotherapy, and psychedelic medicine as a powerful means of treating intractable conditions of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. This article utilizes the nursing theory of human caring science, as articulated by Jean Watson, to describe the essential and fundamental human caring qualities in psychedelic therapy. By mapping these qualities onto the traits of a psychedelic therapist, articulated by Janis Phelps and illustrating them with qualitative, exemplar data from a psilocybin assisted therapy study, we have created a nursing-informed philosophical theoretical framework with which to begin to examine questions related to trust enhancement between patient and therapist, therapeutic communication of openness to patient experiences, mutual learning between therapist and patient, the influence spiritual or psychedelic practices of the therapist on outcomes, optimizing therapeutic healing environments, and care of the physical body during psychedelic therapy sessions. This article is intended to identify themes and generate hypotheses for future nursing-informed psychedelic psychotherapy research.

Developing Knowledge

Despite the centrality of the body in patients’ experiences and in nursing practice, the constructs of the body and embodiment are underdeveloped in nursing science. If the accepted focus of nursing is the person and embodiment is a fundamental condition of personhood, then embodiment merits nursing’s theoretical attention. Developing knowledge of health-illness experiences as encompassing both subject body and object body, and the dialectic between them is a fitting endeavor for caring science. This article surveys “the problem of the body” in nursing, meanings of embodiment, embodiment in illness, and associated implications for caring practice and caring science.

Different Levels

The findings show how different conceptions of power occur within nursing science, differences that can be interpreted as different views of human beings and ethics. Among the advocates of empowerment in caring, there is a desire to eliminate the difference in power between nurse and patient. The relationship between nurse and patient becomes mutual through the patient’s participation in and responsibility for his/her own care. But from a caring science perspective, a caring relationship is not mutual since nurse and patient cannot change places due to being on different levels nor can responsibility be delegated from nurse to patient.
