Connect the concepts of Rogers and Margaret Newmans Theory. The theory of health as expanding consciousness stems from Rogers' theory of Unitary Human Beings. Rogers' assumptions regarding patterning of persons in interaction with the environment are basic to the view that consciousness is a manifestation of an evolving pattern of personenvironment interaction, i.e., consciousness includes not only the cognitive and affective awareness normally associated with consciousness, but also the interconnectedness of the entire living system, which includes physiochemical maintenance and growth processes as well as the immune system. This pattern of information, which is the consciousness of the system, is part of a larger, undivided pattern of an expanding universe. As connected with Maragaret Newmans theory of pattern recognition which provides the basis for the process of nurse-client interaction Newman suggested that the task in intervention is a pattern recognition accomplished by the health professional becoming aware of the pattern of the other person by becoming in touch with their own pattern. Newman suggested that the professional should focus on the pattern of the other person , acting as the reference beam in a hologram. As noted, Rogers indicated that each individual has a personal definition of health may be seen as perplexing paradoxical formulation by some. Health, Newman states include both the condition of being well (an ordinary definition of health) and the condition of being ill. Because health is seen, in ideas deriving from Rogers and others, as the evolving process of expanding consciousness, becoming ill may paradoxically be a manifestation of health. Newman proposes that those states that we identify as sickness may be needed to achieve something an individual has desired but been able to achieve otherwisean idea that may be seen as an agreement with classical psychoanalysis. She further adopts from Rogers the concept of unitary human beings and concludes that if beings are truly unitary, they cannot be either ill or well but instead must at all times manifest some synthesis of the two conditions.

How is human transformation related to the theory of human becoming? Parses theory of human becoming is concise about these assumptions: that the human is coexisting while co-constituting rhythmical patterns with the universe; is open, freely choosing meaning in situation, bearing responsibility for decisions; is unitary, continuously co-constituting patterns of relating; and is transcending multidimensionally with the possible. And that becoming is unitary human-living-health; is a rhythmically coconstituting human-universe process; is the humans patterns of relating value priorities; is an intersubjective process of transcending with the possible; is unitary humans emerging The above statements offers a forward degree of focus that when man is continuing to relate to and is open to all the possibilities that the environment will impact upon itself and the human being, human transformation occurs in either a discrete or obvious manner. The continuous change in mobility grants the human a shift from the past to the present and as well as the future which coincides with the process of transforming the human into its predetermined state basing on the factors around him. In the value of meaning Human Becoming is freely choosing personal meaning in situations in the intersubjective process of living value priorities. Mans reality is given meaning through lived experiences, and Man and environment cocreate. Rhythmicity is the key area where Human Becoming is cocreating rhythmical patterns of relating in mutual process with the universe. And that man and environment cocreate ( imaging, valuing, languaging) in rhythmical patterns. In the light of Transcendence, human becoming is cotranscending multidimensionally with emerging possible, it refers to reaching out and beyond the limits that a person sets, and that the person constantly transforms. When the process of human becoming is undertaken and steers the human into a newly developed individual, transformation also happens. Human becoming relates to human transformation wherein the common denominator is man, the environment, the new man, and the impact of change to create a new profile of the same individual.
