    Psychoanalysis

    Psychoanalysisfocuses on discovering the causes of the

    clients unconscious and repressed thoughts, feelings,

    and conflicts believed to cause anxiety.

    People do not like conflict so develop certain structures

    in their mind or ways of responding to maintain

    equilibrium& keep conflicts from causing too muchdiscomfort

    Helping the client to gain insight into and resolve these

    conflicts and anxieties 3

    FREUD-PSYCHOANALYTICTHEORY

    Was a neurosurgeon who worked primarily with hysterical uppermiddle class women.

    Most mental disorders were due to unresolved issues originatingin childhood (occurring during the first 5 years)

    NO human behavior is an accident but is motivated by ansubconscious thought, feeling, need, wish or intent

    Freud believed

    that all psychologic and emotional events are understandable,

    that childhood experiences caused adult neuroses, and thattherapy provided insight into the meaning of events.

    Use of defense mechanismsto deal with an incompatible/unacceptable idea that causes internal conflict

    FREUD

    Felt that there were different levels of psychological awareness

    The mind as an iceberg

    Conscious part is the tipof the iceberg. What we are aware

    of- events and experiences we easily remember- phone #,

    dates of special holidays. Conscious mind is thought to be

    under the influence of the Ego

    Preconsciousisjust belowthe surface of awareness. Are notreadily remembered but can be recalled relatively easily.

    Unconsciouscontains unacceptable urges, repressed

    memories. Greatly influences our feelings. Memories

    retrieved by hypnosis, in dreams or incomprehensiblebehavior

    Personality Makeup

    Id, Super ego & Ego which are entities of the mind, used toexplain observed behaviors resulting from conflicts r/t the needsof the individual, the restriction of society,& internal moral values

    Idunconscious, primitive, pleasure principle, cannot tolerate

    frustration, Impulsive, egocentric, cannot problem solve; We are allId at birth.

    Superego (Perfection principle)concerned w/ moral & ethicalbehavior (all the should nots of life). Represents the ideal ratherthan the real. Legalistic, It seeks perfectionrather than pleasure..

    Ego (Rational self or reality driven)- strives for balance, is themediator, mature adaptive behavior, reality tester, a problemsolver, develops defenses mechanism to help the individual dealwith stressful situations . Subject to anxiety if there is an imbalancebetween the Id & Super Ego. Ability to assess w/out anger or

    aggression is an example of a healthy ego 7

    DEFENSE MECHANISMS

    Used to protect individuals (Protective mechanism)from internal conflicts(feelings, memories) and

    external stressorswhich causes the patient anxiety Used unconsciously .

    Begins in childhood but become maladaptive ifused for too long(Gone with the wind)

    Distorts, hides, denies reality, disruptiverelationships. Therefore, may project onto othershow they feel about themselves

    Defense Mechanisms

    Regression- returning to an earlier level of adaptation. Adolescencesucking thumb & not speaking.

    Not all defense mechanisms are bad. Some serve as health copingmechanisms used by mature adults

    Altruism: emotional conflict & stress are dealt with by meeting theneeds of others. The person receives gratification by helping othersor from the response of others to being helped. 6 months afterloosing her husband, she spends 1 day a week doing grief counseling& is effective in helping others

    Sublimation: substituting socially acceptable activity for strongunacceptable impulses. Strong hostile feeling are channeled byplaying a contact sport

    Humor: Deals with stressors by emphasizing the amusing or ironic

    aspectof the conflict (stand up comics) 10

    He defined anxiety as a feeling of tension, distress &

    discomfort produced by a perceived or threatened loss of

    control.

    Felt that there was a repression or tucking away of things

    that were unsafe to remember. This defense bandage

    mechanism cannot be maintained for long & affects

    personality & behavior Psychopathology results when a person has difficulty

    transitioning from 1 stage to the next, when a person

    remains at a particular stage but should have transitioned

    upward or when there is regression to an earlier stage. 11

    FREUD

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    12/78

    FREUD

    Freud based his theory of childhood personalitydevelopment on the belief that sexual energy was the drivingforce of human behavior. There are 5 stages of psychosexualdevelopment: Based on sexual growth/development:

    Oral stage (0-1 yr)smoking, biting, alcoholism. Sarcasticperson

    Anal stage (1-3yr)-(anal retentiveness)-Obsessive/compulsive, Hoarding, stinginess, rigid thoughts;(anal explusiveness)- messiness, destructiveness

    13/78

    FREUD

    Phallic stage (3-6 yrs)-repression of attraction to the opposite

    sex leading to same sex identification; lack of resolution results

    in difficulties w/ sexual identity & difficulty w/ authority figure

    Latency (6-12 yrs)conflict resolution w/ shift to other interest& friends. Difficulty identifying w/ others & developing social

    skills. Sense of inadequacy

    Puberty/ Genital (12 yrs & older)- reemerging sexuality.

    Harry Stack Sullivan

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    15/78

    SULLIVANSocial-Interpersonal Theory

    Initially used the Freudian framework when working with

    patients

    Did not like dealing with the unseen & private mental process

    w/in the individual

    Sullivan interpersonal relationship theory is grounded in

    observable behaviorthat resulted from patient interactions

    Sullivan felt that the purpose of all behavior is to get needs met

    through interpersonal interactions (develop security) & to

    decrease or avoid anxiety (painful feeling or emotion arising

    from insecurity)that may result from negative responses to an

    interaction15

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    16/78

    Who I am & my sense of myself is built from childhood

    experiences.

    It results from reflected appraisals the person obtains

    and learns to accept from contact with significant

    others.

    The self develops in the process of seeking

    physical satisfaction of bodily needs and security. To feel secure, the self essentially requires feelings of

    approval and prestige as protection against anxiety

    16

    SULLIVAN

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    17/78

    SULLIVAN

    Sullivan believed that the nurses role includeseducating clients and assisting them in developing

    effective interpersonal relationships. Mutuality, respect for the client, unconditional

    acceptance, and empathy are cornerstones ofSullivans theory.

    The nurse must interact with the client A therapeutic environment (Milieu) is an accepting

    atmosphere and provides opportunities for clientsto practice interpersonal skills

    ERIK ERIKSON

    Follower of Freud but felt that it was negative & restrictive

    Each stage of growth involves maintaining a balance betweendisorder & stability to adjust & move forward to the nextlevel/stage.

    Successful resolution affects success in next stage

    Failure to resolve stage may lead to psychological symptoms atlater time

    His model spans the full life cycle & felt that personality

    continues through old age (Unlike Freud) 19

    ERIK ERIKSON

    This theory can help identify age appropriate or arresteddevelopmental interpersonal skillsas clients with mental

    illness usually exhibit some degree of developmental delayor incomplete resolution of developmental task thatparallel their chronological age

    29/78

    B. F. SKINNER

    Classical Conditioning

    Behaviorismfocuses on behaviors and behavior changes,rather than explaining how the mind works

    Behaviorist- Human behavior is learned

    Behavior has consequences (reward or punishment)

    Rewarded behavior tends to recur

    Positive reinforcement increases the frequency of behavior-

    Operant conditioning29

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    30/78

    B. F. SKINNER

    Removal of negative reinforces increases the frequency of behavior

    Negative consequences decreases the likelihood of a behavior

    Continuous reinforcement is the fastest way to increase behavior;random intermittent reinforcement increases behavior more slowlybut with longer-lasting effect

    Therefore learned behavior responses can be modified

    Treatment modalities based on behaviorism include behaviormodification, token economy (get a token for a desired behavior),and systematic desensitization, Aversion therapy (punishment- )

    Modeling behavior

    Milieu-safe supportive environment with emphasis on group & social

    interaction. Rules through peer pressure30

    32/78

    Jean PiagetsCognitive Theory

    Cognitive therapy

    focuses on immediate thought processing.

    How a person perceives or interprets an experience

    determines how you feel & behave . Therefore must helpcorrect distorted perceptions and dysfunctional beliefs.

    Cognitive behavioral theoryfocuses on the present ratherthan the past. Symptoms associated with neuroses andpsychoses are identified as clusters of learned behaviors

    that persist because they are rewarding to the individual.

    Must learn to think more adaptively and realistically. Mustsubstitute rational beliefs for irrational beliefs & eliminate

    self defeating behavior32

  • 5/28/2018 Psych Theories

    33/78

    Biological Theory

    Focuses on neurological, chemical, biological, c &

    genetic issues to understand how the brain & body

    interact to create emotion, memories & perceptualexperiences

    Views abnormal behavior as a disease process or

    defect (usually in Limbic system of the brain) Targets site of the defect/ illness using surgery or

    drugs33

    Often mental illness is seen as the degree to which aperson fails to fulfill the expectation of the culture

    What beliefs are acceptable/what are not(What may beperfectly acceptable in one culture may be criminal in

    another). Concepts of mental health/mental illness. Stigma varies

    goodness or badness of ones motive, & the results

    (good or bad) of action taken

    individual to make a choice between 2 equally

    unfavorable alternatives

    The dilemma generally creates overwhelming

    emotional responses

    Often the reasons supporting each sides of the

    argument is logical & appropriate

    Examples: right to refuse medication, the right to

    the least restrictive treatment alternative47

    News Flash

    Not guilty by reason of insanity is a phrase that

    evokes passion in many people. Jeffery Dahmer, the

    cannibalist murderer, did not say that he did not do

    it. He said he was not guilty because he did not

    know what he was doing.

    Insanity Defense

    Insanity: the person could not control his or her actionsor understand the difference between right and wrongat the time of the crime(MNaghtenrule)

    13 states have provisions for a guilty but insaneverdict that holds the person responsible for the crimewhile ensuring that he or she receives treatment.

    If the are unable to understand the charges against

    themthen they cannot be tried for the crime until theydo. Must be able to participate in their own defense.

    Legal Issues inMENTAL HEALTH NURSING

    Law is involved in psychiatric nursing-individuals

    who do not understand the nature or implications

    of unlawful actions because of insanity cannot be

    held legally accountable for their actions

    Must balance rights of client and society: Tarasoff

    vs the Regents of the University of California. MH

    Professionals have a duty to warn of threat of harm

    to others50

    Legal Issues inMENTAL HEALTH NURSING

    Laws set out rules and procedures: Rogers vs. Okin

    (Boston), patients right to refuse medication. Had

    significant implications for nurses who are temptedto force patients to take their medication for

    their own good.

    Laws differ from state to state

    forms of abuse, while mental health care providers

    see them as helping people who cant take care ofthemselves.

    It is assumed that a person without a mental

    disorder would not choose suicide. Thus, mentalhealth caregivers seek to prevent suicide on the

    basis that this is what the client would choose if the

    client were mentally capable of choosing. 71
