Consider the following statement by Barnum (1990) describing early nursing theories: “A high number of [boundary] overlaps occur in the discipline of nursing because it often attempts to deal holistically with a phenomenon (man) that has previously been dealt with in compartmentalized ways by other disciplines” (p. 218). What does she mean by “holistically”? How do you think other disciplines may deal with the human being in a comparmentalized way?
