Nursing Theory, Postmodernism, Post-structuralism, and Foucault by Olga Petrovskaya is a comprehensive resource that delves into the critique of mainstream American nursing theory and its application of post-structural concepts. This edition emphasizes the contrast between American nursing theory's reliance on logical positivism and the more dynamic, critical approaches found in international nursing scholarship.
 
By integrating robust research, evidence-based practices, and compelling narratives, the text fosters a deeper understanding of how postmodern and post-structural ideas can enrich nursing research and practice. It is an invaluable resource for nursing scholars, researchers, and practitioners seeking to enhance their knowledge in nursing theory and philosophy.
