In this theory, health is both subjective and objective. The nurse-patient relationship is essential to successful patient care, and this relationship is established by an interaction process.īuilding the patient-nurse relationship takes place in five phases: the original encounter, the visibility of personal or emerging identities, empathy, sympathy, and the establishment of mutual understanding and a rapport. Travelbee believed nursing should be accomplished through human relationships that begin with the original encounter, progress through the stages of emerging identities, and lead to the development of empathy and sympathy.
The hoping person is in possession of courage to be able to acknowledge its shortcomings and fears and go forward toward its goal. Confidence that others will be there for one when you need them. The desire to possess any object or condition, to complete a task or have an experience. 
It is linked to elections from several alternatives or escape routes out of its situation. It is strongly associated with dependence on other people. Hope is defined as a faith that can and will bring change that will bring something better with it. The role of nursing in Travelbee’s theory is to help the patient find meaning in the experience of suffering, as well as help the patient maintain hope. Suffering ranges from a feeling of unease to extreme torture, and varies in intensity, duration, and depth. Each of these concepts is defined by Travelbee to help nurses understand the model. For ages 12 and up.The main concepts of the nursing theory are suffering, meaning, nursing, hope, communications, self-therapy, and a targeted intellectual approach. These are small quibbles in a well written book that, though text bookish, overflows with clearly explained information about heavy topics: competing psychiatric theories, discipline of logotherapy, Nazi rise to power and targeted destruction of Jews. If only title and chapter fonts had followed suit they are frenetic, slanted and tacky. Warm moments discuss Frankl’s family life, his two marriages and one daughter. Marvelous family portraits and wonderful old postcards of Vienna set the scene and recapture the era. The volume chronologically unfolds his life, often making parallels with Adolf Hitler who once lived near the Frankl home in Vienna. Frankl, a prankster as a child, grew into a man with a flair for risk his favorite activities included brain surgery, mountain climbing and casino gambling. More than a personal story, Frankl analyzed the situation as a psychiatrist connecting it to his logotherapy, which finds meaning in action, creation, and suffering. Upon liberation, he wrote one of the first camp exposés, Man’s Search for Meaning, one of the ten most influential books in America, according to the Library of Congress. 
Using his previous experience doctoring suicide patients, he helped many fellow inmates survive. He believed people could exist on their inner strength.
Frankl spent two and a half years in four concentration camps during the Holocaust. His new treatment differed from Sigmund Freud’s and Alfred Adler’s, giants who began as his mentors and ended as his angry competitors. Austrian Jew, Viktor Frankl, was a practicing psychiatrist and creator of logotherapy. For those curious about the man behind the famous book Man’s Search for Meaning, this solid, serious biography chronicles an inspiring life.
