Concept analysis is an established genre of inquiry in nursing,
introduced in the 1970s. Currently, over 100 concept studies are
published annually, yet the methods used within this field have
rarely been questioned. In Concept Analysis in Nursing: A New
Approach, Paley provides a critical analysis of the philosophical
assumptions that underpin nursing’s concept analysis methods. He
argues, provocatively, that there are no such things as concepts,
as traditionally conceived. Drawing on Wittgenstein and
Construction Grammar, the book first makes a case for dispensing
with the traditional concept of a ‘concept’, and then provides
two examples of a new approach, examining the use of ‘hope’ and
‘moral distress’. Casting doubt on the assumption that
‘hope’ always stands for an ‘inner’ state of the person,
the book shows that the word’s function varies with the
grammatical construction it appears in. Similarly, it argues that
‘moral distress’ is not the name of a mental state, but a
normative classification used to bolster a narrative concerning
nursing’s identity. Concept Analysis in Nursing is a fresh and
challenging book written by a philosopher interested in nursing. It
will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students in the areas
of nursing, health, philosophy and linguistics. It will also
interest those familiar with the author’s previous book,
Phenomenology as Qualitative Research.
