Abstract
Nurse scholar Dr. Zahourek is a retired clinical specialist in psychiatric-mental health nursing and an advanced holistic nurse. As a result of her 30+ years of clinical work in numerous clinical settings using various modalities, she decided to study the process of healing and the role of intention and intentionality in healing for her PhD grounded theory research. She has revised her theory of intentionality: the matrix of healing and presents it in this issue of Nursing Science Quarterly. In this article, we dialogue with her regarding the influences underpinning her theory, intentionality and meaning, and her current work.
