Based on Carl Jung's Theory of

Psychological Types, perception involves
all the ways of becoming aware of things,
people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment
involves all the ways of coming to
conclusions about what has been
perceived. If people differ systematically in
what they perceive and in how they reach
conclusions, then it is only reasonable for
them to differ correspondingly in their
interests, reactions, values, motivations,
and skills.

According to Karen Horneys Theory on

Personality, moving away from people:
The final possible consequence of a
neurotic is a personality style filled with a
social behavior and an almost indifference
to others. If they don't get involved with
others, they can't be hurt by them. While
it protects them from emotional pain of
relationships, it also keeps away all
positive aspects of relationships. It leaves
them feeling alone and empty.

According to Sullivans Interpersonal

Theory, the need for friendship and need
for sexual expression get combined
during late adolescence. In this stage a
long term relationship becomes the
primary focus. Conflicts between parental
control
and
self-expression
are
commonplace and the overuse of
selective inattention in previous stages
can result in a skewed perception of the
self and the world.

Dorothea E. Orem's Self-Care Deficit

Nursing Theory states that nursing is
required because of the inability to
perform self-care as the result of
limitations.

Risk for Injury related to

delayed developmental age

14

Self-harm is listed in the Diagnostic and

Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-IV-TR) as a symptom of borderline
personality disorder and depressive
disorders.
Because of a delay on the gross and fine
motor skills, as well as how the patient
perceives things and events, the patient is
at great risk of physical injury.
