-Sister Callista Roy developed the Adaptation Model of Nursing which quickly became regarded as a major nursing theory worldwide, especially in rehabilitation environments.  Roy's model sees the individual as a set of interrelated biological, psychological and social systems. Whilst the individual strives to maintain a balance between these systems and the pressures of the outside world, an ideal level of balance is rarely found, thus the need for continual adaptation. +Sister Callista Roy[(Callista_Roy>Callista Roy[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callista_Roy|Wikipedia]])]  is an influential figure in the modern nursing profession. After graduating from Mount St. Mary’s College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Sociology, she went on to pursue her Master's and Doctorate degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles. She contributed greatly to the field of nursing science with her research into Adaptation Model[( :harvard:Riehl1980>>

Moreover, her Adaptive Model has been expanded overseas, providing the opportunity for research collaboration between nurses around the world. Sister Callista Roy’s exceptional scientific contributions have set new precedents in holistic nursing assessment, making her an esteemed professional in both American and international healthcare communities.

Some examples[(application_Roys_adaptation_model>Application of Roy's Adaptation Model (RAM)[[https://currentnursing.com/nursing_theory/application_Roy%27s_adaptation_model.html|currentnursing.com]])] include: 
 + 
 +  * **Assessing the impact of neurological injuries** or conditions on an individual's physical, psychological, and social functioning. 
 + 
 +  * **Developing treatment plans** that address the unique needs and strengths of each individual, taking into account their personal goals and priorities. 
 + 
 +  * **Evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions** by tracking changes in an individual's adaptation level over time.

 +  * **Providing a framework for collaborative care**, where multiple healthcare professionals can work together to support the individual's adaptation and recovery.

 +  * **Educating individuals and their families about the impact of neurological injuries** or conditions on their lives, and helping them develop coping strategies to manage any challenges they may face.

 *//The four modes referred to are: (i) physiological, (ii) self-concept, (iii) role function and (iv) interdependence.// *//The four modes referred to are: (i) physiological, (ii) self-concept, (iii) role function and (iv) interdependence.//
  
 +==== Physiological Mode ====
 +The physiological mode addresses the basic physical needs such as oxygenation, nutrition, elimination, activity, and rest. In IEMT, therapists can explore how changes in these physiological areas might correlate with emotional experiences, like how anxiety can disrupt sleep (rest) or increase heart rate (oxygenation).
 +
 +IEMT can reduce physical stress symptoms like heart palpitations or muscle tension by altering the way memories are stored and recalled, improving health outcomes. For instance, a client with anxiety-induced insomnia might find relief as IEMT helps regulate physiological responses.  
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Self-Concept Mode ====
 +This mode focuses on the beliefs and feelings one holds about oneself, encompassing both the physical and personal self. In an IEMT setting, a therapist might help a client who views themselves as 'weak' to see their strengths, impacting their self-esteem and self-image.
 +
 +IEMT assists in changing negative self-perceptions tied to traumatic memories, boosting self-esteem. For example, a client viewing themselves as “weak” due to past bullying could, through IEMT, reframe this to recognize their resilience, enhancing self-image.  
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Role Function Mode ====
 +Role function pertains to the social and familial roles an individual plays. For example, a person transitioning from being a student to a professional might struggle with their new identity. IEMT can facilitate this transition by addressing the emotional upheavals that accompany role changes.
 +
 +By alleviating the emotional burden of past experiences, IEMT can improve performance in personal and professional roles. A parent struggling with past trauma affecting parenting could use IEMT to adapt, leading to better family dynamics.  
 +==== Interdependence Mode ====
 +Interdependence involves the balance and effectiveness of one's relationships. IEMT can be used to improve how individuals relate to others, manage dependencies, and promote healthier social interactions, such as enhancing communication skills in a marriage or between coworkers.
 +
 +Enhanced emotional regulation and self-understanding can lead to healthier relationships and communication. A client with strained family ties due to unresolved grief might, through IEMT, develop stronger, more supportive networks, improving interdependence.

 +While Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is not directly based on Sr. Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model, it shares the common goal of promoting adaptation in individuals facing emotional challenges. IEMT, through its eye movement techniques, aims to help clients adapt their emotional responses to past experiences, thereby facilitating better mental and emotional well-being. This aligns with the broader concept of adaptation as described in various psychological and nursing models.
  
 Every environment offers the individual resources, challenges, struggles and stressors of different forms and variable degrees thereby resulting in all consequential effects being subjective and occurring on a spectrum.  Every environment offers the individual resources, challenges, struggles and stressors of different forms and variable degrees thereby resulting in all consequential effects being subjective and occurring on a spectrum.

 An important aspect of IEMT is an increase in resilience in order to get the client more effective to face, handle and adapt to the current environment. IEMT attempts to increase adaptability and maturity on part of the individual in order to manage life and its' ongoing complexities.  An important aspect of IEMT is an increase in resilience in order to get the client more effective to face, handle and adapt to the current environment.

-Being an “adaptive system”, a person has input from the environment, which is subject to internal processing, eventually leading to an output. Our model presumes that the individual uses both innate and acquired (learned) mechanisms to adapt. Some of these adaptations may bring about unintended negative consequences and may be termed maladaptive.+Being an “[[orders_of_adaptation|adaptive system]]”, a person has input from the environment, which is subject to internal processing, eventually leading to an output.

 The environmental stimuli that present as a resource, challenge, stressor or any combination of these may have its’ origin in the historical biography of an individual. This, in turn, can exert an effect in the present through its psychological, physiological, emotional, social and/or environmental nature. The environmental stimuli that present as a resource, challenge, stressor or any combination of these may have its’ origin in the historical biography of an individual.

 The Adaptive IEMT Model states that well-being is an integral and central feature of a person’s life, and can be represented on a well-being/distress spectrum. Along with health, well-being can be described as a state and process of being and becoming integrated and whole as a person, freed from the negative historical stresses and maladaptive responses. The Adaptive IEMT Model states that well-being is an integral and central feature of a person’s life, and can be represented on a well-being/distress spectrum.

 +Unlike EMDR, which focuses on processing trauma over multiple sessions, IEMT emphasises rapid emotional shifts, making it particularly suited for immediate adaptive challenges.”
