Book excerpt: This is the newest edition of Henderson's classic "Reflections on Nursing", first put forth in a condensed version in the American Journal of Nursing (August 1964) and then published 2 years later as a book. This update includes the complete text from the initial book edition, along with a more recent addendum to each chapter. This arrangement enables the reader to appreciate the significance of the original work, while at the same time providing a glimpse into the author's reactions to her own ideas, approximately 20 years later.
