Betty Neuman

The Neuman Systems Model is a unique, open systems-based perspective that provides a unifying focus for approaching a wide range of international health concerns. Being universal in nature, it is open to creative interpretation and is widely used throughout the world as a multidisciplinary, wholistic, and comprehensive guide for excellence in nursing practice, education, research, and administration. Its concepts, processes, and theoretical base are relevant to complement future emerging health care trends and issues.
The latest and 5th book edition published in March 2010 further demonstrates the continued international popularity and usefulness of the work. The model has proven its validity as a wholistic global perspective for interdisciplinary health care concerns. I wish to thank the Neuman Trustees and health care colleagues who increasingly demonstrate its value in a wide range of health areas across the cultures.
