Patterning the mutual human-environment process for wellbecoming of all living beings and the planet is a unitary conceptualization proposed by Rogerian scholar, Dr. Violet M. Malinski. In this scholarly dialogue column, she and her colleague, nurse scholar Dr. Donna J. Perry, discuss why this conceptualization is important to them, the theoretical, philosophical, and research underpinnings, and other related human–environment topics.
