*** For this assignment I Chose Ida Orlando. I chose her because Psychiatric health is really interesting to me. I know that this paper asks for person reasons on picking this theorist but honestly I just just don’t know what to write. Psych is something that interests me and I would consider going into after graduation. I have an aunt that is manic bipolar and just seeing what she goes through and her behaviors are interesting. I like her theory because I also believe that the relationship between the patient and nurse is very important and influential on treatment. If you have any questions or need my input on anything please contact me. Thank you.
