What are the four phases of Peplau's theory as outlined in the chapter?

The four phases of Peplau's theory are the Orientation phase, Identification phase, Exploitation phase, and Resolution phase.

Peplau's theory outlines four phases in the development of a therapeutic relationship. The Orientation phase involves assessing the individual's health and situation. During the Identification phase, the person begins to feel a sense of belonging and can manage their health problem, which involves developing a care plan and determining who needs to be involved. The Exploitation phase focuses on addressing the needs and interests of the individual as they become an integral part of the helping environment. Finally, the Resolution phase involves withdrawal or referral as the therapeutic relationship concludes.
