Practicum Experience Practicum Journal Template: to review both a nursing theory and a counseling theory that will guide my practice as a student PMHNP Week 1: Journal Entry The purpose of the week one journal entry is to review both a nursing theory and a counseling theory that will guide my practice as a student PMHNP. Also, this journal will cover three goals and objectives that I have for this practicum experience as well as a timeline for my practicum activities. Nursing Theory The nursing theory that I have chosen to guide my practice is the Theory of Interpersonal Relations by Hildegard Peplau. In psychotherapy, the relationship developed between the PMHNP and the patients is the base of treatment. The PMHNP must earn the clients trust for therapy to be effective. Peplau’s theory contains four phases of the professional and client relationship- orientation, identification, exploitation, and resolution (Fatemeh et al., 2017). Behavioral Theory The behavioral theory assumes that behavior is learned from the environment and individuals around us (McLeod, 2010). Goals for Psychotherapy with Groups & Families The first goal that I have for this course is to fully understand the laws and state regulations regarding group and family therapy in the state of Florida Objectives for Psychotherapy with Groups & Families My first learning objective for this course is to have the capability to provide accurate psychiatric diagnoses for the clients I assess during practicum upon completion of the course.
