Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Psychoanalysis is a powerful method for studying the unconscious. Freud introduced the structural model of the mind which includes the id, ego, and superego which allies interrelates with the ego to control impulses of the id. Freud's work shifted the focus of psychiatry from classification to a dynamic view of mental phenomena. Psychic determinism states that no human behavior is accidental.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The humanisticinteracti onal view is that physical and mental factors are interrelated and that a change in one may result in a change in another. Healing and caring must be approached in a holistic manner. The nurse must help clients deal with the biologic aspects of their illness as well as emotional patterns and aspects of biologic experiences. Nurses must incorporate humanistic and interactional approaches and not simply rely only on psychopharmacology. Our practice and research must integrate high tech and high touch, nature and nurture, the biologic sciences, and the behavioral sciences.
