A Book Review of Nursing Theory,Postmodernism,Post-Structuralism,and Foucault,Olga Petrovskaya (2023),Routledge

Abstract

This is a review of the recent book, Nursing Theory, Postmodernism, Post-Structuralism, and Foucault by Olga Petrovskaya (2023). The author draws on the discourse in the literature from the late 1980s to 2010, with a critique of nursing theory from the perspective of a contrast she claims between the philosophical bases of American nursing theory development and other potential bases in postmodernism and post-structuralism when viewed from the perspective of Foucault, the French philosopher.
