Human Becoming Theory: Rosemarie Rizzo Parse
Rosemarie Rizzo Parse
Background
- The Parse theory of
human becoming guides nurses in their practice to focus on quality of life as
it is described and lived.
- The human becoming
theory of nursing presents an alternative to both the conventional bio-medical
approach and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (but still normative) approach of
most other theories of nursing.
- The human becoming
theory posits quality of life from each person's own perspective as the goal of
nursing practice.
- Rosemarie Rizzo Parse
first published the theory in 1981 as the "Man-living-health" theory.
- The name was
officially changed to "the human becoming theory" in 1992 to remove
the term "man," after the change in the dictionary definition of the
word from its former meaning of "humankind."

cocreate
2. Rhythmicity
- Human Becoming is
cocreating rhythmical patterns of relating in mutual process with the universe.
- Man and environment
cocreate ( imaging, valuing, languaging) in rhythmical patterns
3. Transcendence

cotranscending multidimensionally with emerging possibles.

and beyond the limits that a person sets

transforming him or herself
