The ‘world’ of mental health briefly consists of people, services, policy, and legislation. For the individual involved in the ‘world’ of mental health their experiences of mental distress may vary in relation to the services they are part of, and what role they have within those services. The course model places the individual at the centre, with social, environmental, economic, and political influences surrounding them, and the wider factors of ethics and values surrounding these.

Similarities and Differences of Watson and Parse’s Theories Watson and Parse’s theories are grand nursing theories that have drawn from Martha Rogers’ science of unitary human beings in developing their theories.
“The actualising tendency refers to the tendency in all forms of organic life towards more complex organisation, the fulfilment of potential, and in human beings, the actualisation of the whole person including the persons self” (Merry 2002). Through my own experience I believe there is a need for positive self regard in order for an individual to make positive choices and trust in their own decisions.”To develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experiencing” (Merry 2002).

The unconscious is storage for an individual’s instincts and drives that he or she is not aware of (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 24). Freud also believes that the unconscious holds repressed memories from childhood and where dreams originate from. All unconscious thoughts try to force through into to conscious.
