In their response to Draper's (1993) critique of Fawcett's (1992) paper ‘Conceptual models and nursing practice the reciprocal relationship’, the authors argue that Draper's critique is flawed They point out that Draper fails to acknowledge the diversity within the positivist movement, makes logical leaps, and fails to acknowledge Fawcett's long‐standing distinction between middle‐range theories and conceptual models and her discussions of the differences in the criteria to be used when evaluating conceptual models and theories
