Relational theory

Relational Dialectic Theory American author and Professor at the University of Southern California, Leo F. Buscaglia; also known as the Dr. Love says, “A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.” Relationships are shared with the people we cherish or care about

A romantic relationship might sound very beautiful but like any type of relationship has its ups and downs. That's known as the relational dialectics Theory,"explains the ups and downs and pushes temp was that dynamic of the relationship experiences ".(Gamble,371). The theory consist of four main parts that are integration/separation, stability/change, expression/privacy, and working through dialectical tensions. Integration/separation in a romantic relationshipis the tension between being together

A Theory of Current Interest Relational theory of furlough correlates theoretical constructs of WLOC, job satisfaction, and performance as it relates to work productivity for furloughed contractors. Gay and Weaver (2011) and Gelso (2006) mentioned that descriptive, explanatory, and relational are types of theories use in literature. However, relational theory of furlough is more adequately connected to my current interest. Relational theory of furlough can be viewed as the relationship between

relationships with a countless number of people. We develop said relationships through positive or negative experiences that enable to share dialectical tensions. The relational dialectics theory is “…a humanistic theory based on the idea that people are responding to the pulls and tugs that surround them in a relationship” (Baxter 1). The theory is applied to many relationships to see how standardized one’s relationship is and how it fits into these categories. There are three basic types of dialectic

In 1991, Stafford and Canary used equity theory to explain the idea of their typology of relational maintenance strategies. They hypothesized that couples in equitable relationships use more relational maintenance behaviors and the uses of these behaviors affect the couples’ satisfaction (Dainton, M., 2000; Canary, D, J., & Stafford, L., 1992). Stafford and Canary ask people about what “interactional behaviors” they use with their partner to have a successful relationship (Weige, D. J., & Ballard-Reisch

RELATIONAL MODELS THEORY Introduction Alan Page Fiske catalyzed the advocacy of the relational model 's theory (RMT) in 1991. The theory states that there are four natural ways of interrelating with other people. The author established the four models in his article structures of social life. Fiske affirms that the models work together in varying combinations and control almost all transactions by human beings (Bolender, 2010, p.60). He further asserts that the models unify ideas on moral judgment

Comparing relationships to unicycles seems strange or unlikely, however the constant strive for balance against opposing forces is a perfect description for relational dialectics theory (Griffin, 2009). Barbara Montgomery, an interpersonal communication scholar, describes riding a unicycle as a task of contradicting forces, constantly pulling against each other in a tug-of-war motion. The best way to control the wheel is by the constant changes in movement, adapting one way or the other, to maintain

Relational Theory There has been some recent argument against the current understanding of the place of relationships in psychotherapy. While most theories argue that relationships are important or even essential to good mental health, other theorists claim that the way relationships are conceptualized in these theories is insufficient (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). Most of these theories conceptualize the individuals first, and then talk about the way these individuals relate. Relationships are often

philosophical frameworks and theories that influence my nursing practice. Also, I will demonstrate how I incorporate the theories into my practice by providing examples. The goal of my paper is to emphasize the statement that nursing is a “therapeutic, goal directed, interpersonal process between nurse and patient” but also with the patient’s care team which is why I chose the following theories (Jones, 1996, p. 877). For this paper, I have chosen to explore Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations
