Abstract:
Family nursing practice reflects different belief systems about the nature of the family and family health. Competing belief systems (paradigms) are examined as they relate to the concepts of concern to family nursing. Using a family case study, divergent diagnostic approaches emerging from the paradigms are described and demonstrated. Implications are delineated for the further development of family nursing practice.
