Rationale: General systems theory, when applied to people, provides a conceptual framework for integrating the biologic and social sciences with the physical sciences. The medical model of care focuses on diagnostic categorization and medical treatments.

Erikson's developmental theory of personality highlights tasks that individuals must accomplish in order to advance developmentally.
