2. Interpersonal theory
Originally developed by Harry Stack Sullivan
Personality develops according to the client's
perception of how others view them
A healthy personality is the result of healthy
relationships
Hildegard Peplau, who is considered to be the "mother
of psychiatric nursing," was influenced by this theory
i.
She wrote Interpersonal Relations in Nursing, which
became the foundation for the nurse-client
relationship
ii.
According to Peplau, the nurse-client relationship is
one in which
the client receives unconditional acceptance
the relationship between nurse and client is
client-centered
the relationship is developed according to the
client's perceived readiness
3. Psychosocial developmental theory
Developed by Erik Erikson
Describes eight psychosocial stages of development in
the human life cycle
Development is successful if the person is able to
resolve the conflict that arises during each stage
If the person does not effectively resolve the conflict,
then development is arrested at that stage
4. Cognitive behavioral theory (CBT)
Focuses on the premise that a person's thoughts
control their behavior
If a client is feeling or behaving in an unwanted way,
then it is important to identify the thoughts that are
causing these feelings or behaviors
The treatment
thoughts with
outcome
CBT is used to
illness and live
5. Behavioral theory
Symptoms of mental illness are the result of learned
behavior
Through
the
use

negative
reinforcement unacceptable learned behavior can be
replaced by a more desired behavior

disorders are some of the mental illnesses currently
treated using behavioral therapy
Assertiveness training and desensitization
are
commonly used behavioral techniques
