      Enrichie de l'expérience et du vécu de l'auteur, cet ouvrage apporte une réflexion sur un acte en apparence banal, dépouillé de toute technicité instrumentale : la toilette. Acte d'importance relevant du « rôle propre » infirmier et propice à la communication entre patient et soignant, la toilette est toutefois à considérer comme un soin à part entière. Elle requiert une grande compétence relationnelle et trouve particulièrement son indication en psychiatrie, en cas d'impasse thérapeutique. Elle peut en effet devenir une médiation lorsque la relation verbale n'est plus possible : grâce à la toilette et à ses rites, le soignant peut entrer en relation avec le patient et faire de ce soin un moment d'échange privilégié. Ce « toucher thérapeutique » peut permettre à des patients peu autonomes de développer leur perception, leurs possibilités d'expression, de reconstruire une image améliorée d'eux-mêmes…. À l'inverse, elle confronte les soignants aux odeurs intimes, à la vision d'un corps, à la rencontre avec leurs propres réactions. C'est par conséquent à un véritable « voyage au cœur du soin » que l'auteur convie le lecteur.

      Ce livre dresse un bilan historique des mutations de la profession infirmière et offre un éclairage unique sur l'engagement des infirmières et infirmiers pour la reconnaissance de leur identité et de leur spécificité. Connaître les étapes de l'histoire des soins, comprendre le rôle des pionniers, prendre conscience des influences de la société, autant d'enjeux pour un combat actuel : la santé de l'homme avant tout. L'auteur constate et analyse les évolutions qui ont eu un impact sur la conception de la fonction infirmière et pour la construction de la discipline des soins infirmiers : évolutions de l'enseignement, des pratiques, des organisations, bien sûr, mais aussi évolutions de la littérature, de la recherche, de la réglementation et de l'éthique. De surcroît, afin d'étayer tous les changements mis en évidence dans l'ouvrage, des listes chronologiques originales, s'étendant du XVIe au XXe siècle, sont proposées. Elles recensent les découvertes médicales et scientifiques, les événements de la société et de la profession qui ont participé à la transformation de la profession infirmière et des soins aux personnes malades, et ce pour la première fois. L'auteur met à profit sa longue expérience au sein de la profession infirmière pour dresser ce bilan historique et envisager des perspectives d'avenir.
