As individuals, we have history, the present, and the future. Dr. Hildegard Peplau, the “mother of psychiatric nursing, “developed the role of the nurse in the nurse‐patient relationship. When she died in March of this year, she left a great legacy to the nursing profession. We reprint here, almost in its entirety, this article from Nursing Forum, 1966,5(1), 60‐75, in which Dr. Peplau traces the nurse‐doctor relationship from the beginning of this century. Her conclusions, written more than 30 years ago, are valid today.
