This edited transcript of an interview with Rogerian scholars Elizabeth Ann Manhart Barrett, Violet M. Malinski, and John R. Phillips presents their thoughts about the contributions of Martha E. Rogers’ science of unitary human beings to the current state of the discipline of nursing and the emergence of the unitary perspective in nursing and other sciences, as well as the implications of the science of unitary human beings for nursing research, education, administration, and practice.
