Submit a paper which compares and contrasts two mental health theories:

· You may choose your theories from the textbook or from other sources.

· Describe each theory, including 
significant 
early history about the person who developed the theory and the major ideas and applications of the theory.

· Describe the ways in which the two theories are similar, and how they differ.

· Include a statement of how each theory could be used in your nursing practice. Include specific patient examples if you have them. You may also critique the theory: Is there anything with which you disagree or are there any problems you can identify?

· It is expected that this essay will be 3-5 pages in length (not including the title page), double-spaced. Your paper should include an introduction and conclusion and proper APA citations from any source material you use, including your text.

Follow the 10.1.22 rubric below – that is how I will grade you.
