Professor Laurie Gottlieb is a full professor at the Ingram School of Nursing, ɬÀï·¬ and the Nurse-Scholar in Residence at the Jewish General Hospital. Professor Gottlieb earned a BN and MSc in Nursing and a PhD in developmental psychology from ɬÀï·¬. She has been a member of ɬÀï·¬ faculty since 1974 and was the Director of the School of Nursing and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Medicine from 1995 to 2000. In 2014, she founded and is a co-director of the International Institute for Strengths-Based Nursing and Health Care. From 1992-2013, she was the editor-in-chief of CJNR (Canadian Journal of Nursing Research).
Her current work focuses on the development of Strengths-Based Nursing as an approach to practice, leadership/management, and education. Strengths-Based Nursing is the result of an evolution of her thinking into what is nursing and how should nurses fulfill their social mandate of health and healing. Strengths-Based Nursing develops, extends, and re-conceptualizes elements of the ɬÀï·¬ Model of Nursing resulting in a more integrated, in-depth philosophical vision and pragmatic approach to person and family nursing. Early in Professor Gottlieb’s career, she helped to develop and evaluate the core variables of Situation-Responsive Nursing that became the foundations of the ɬÀï·¬ Model of Nursing. She later expounded on the developmental and biological principles that underlie nursing practice and brought these ideas together in the Developmental/Health Framework within the ɬÀï·¬ Model of Nursing.Â
