The application of Peplau's theory to group psychotherapy.

This paper illustrates the application of Hildegard Peplau's Interpersonal Theory of Nursing to group psychotherapy. The phases of the nurse-patient relationship, including orientation, identification, exploitation and resolution, are described as they relate to group psychotherapy, and clinical examples are presented. The clinical examples also demonstrate the patient's movement in group therapy through the steps of the learning process: observation, description, analysis, formulation, validation, testing, integration and utilization. Finally, the roles of the nurse including stranger, resource person, teacher, leader, surrogate and counsellor are described as they occur in group psychotherapy.

Repressed memory and false memory.

Both the popular media and professional literature have presented many accounts of repressed memory and false memory in the past 5 years. Repressed memory occurs when trauma is too severe to be kept in conscious memory, and is removed by repression or dissociation or both. At some later time it may be recalled, often under innocuous circumstances, and reappears in conscious memory. False memory occurs when a vulnerable patient with a history of overcompliant or highly suggestible behavior is unwittingly coached by a respected authority figure to create, as if in memory, an experience that never actually occurred. The creation of each phenomenon is explored in detail, as well as suggestions for avoiding the creation of false memories in our patients.

Biological psychiatry and psychiatric nursing in America.

First psychiatry and then psychiatric nursing have moved into an era of psychobiology. In many cases, psychiatric nurses are leaving behind their appreciation of the mind-body-brain connection in favor of a purely biological approach to the etiology and treatment of mental illness. This article is an attempt to show the interrelatedness of these concepts and includes a clinical case example of an "endogenously" depressed man who was treated for a period of 15 years.

This article explores the phenomenon of masochism as an outcome of the fear of separation or abandonment. A unified theory is presented, and a case is used to demonstrate the theory.

The fear of moving beyond one's parents.

The problem of separation-individuation is one of the core psychiatric nursing phenomena facing nurses in their clinical work. It comprises five separate but interacting component fears: existential-separation fear, refueling-separation fear, castration fear, aggression fear, and fear of outdoing the sibling. This article explains these fears, suggests five principles to guide nursing interventions, and includes clinical examples.
