The Maieutic Model for Nursing and Treatment
Presentation and Documentation
by Cora van der Kooij
In this successful introductory work, the author describes the principles, rationale, prospects for, and documentation of her maieutic method for nursing and care. The word “maieutics” is derived from the ancient Greek word for “midwife” and draws upon a method developed by Socrates. Through skillful questioning, it reveals the right answers and insights lying dormant in another person’s mind, although he or she was not conscious of them. Cora van der Kooij describes maieutics as midwifery for nursing professionalism. Target Group: Practicing nurses, geriatric nurses, nursing educators
