text: You probably mean "Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress" by Afaf Ibrahim Meleis (not Melesis, although that's a common typo).  1997 is the 3rd edition; the newer 2006 is the 4th edition.   It's published by Lippincott.  \n\n1997 edition: \nhttp://www.amazon.com/Theoretical-Nursing-Afaf-Ibrahim-Meleis/dp/B000I7S5FC/sr=1-6/qid=1163826209/ref=sr_1_6/103-0649043-2011803?ie=UTF8&s=books\n\n\n2006 edition: \nhttp://www.amazon.com/Theoretical-Nursing-Afaf-Ibrahim-Meleis/dp/0781736730/sr=1-1/qid=1163826209/ref=sr_1_1/103-0649043-2011803?ie=UTF8&s=books\n\nI hope this answers your question.   Let me know if you have additional questions.  :-)\n\n\n[P.S. Do I get "Best Answer"?  :-)  ]
