15. GRT 2100: Psychosocial Aspects of Aging PSYCHOSOCIAL THEORY “When the environment makes new demands on people, the conflicts arise. The person is faced with a choice between two ways of coping with each crisis, an adaptive, or maladaptive way. Only when each crisis is resolved, which involves a change in the personality, does the person have sufficient strength to deal with the next stages of development. If a person is unable to resolve a conflict at a particular stage, they will confront and struggle with it later in life.” Schultz & Schultz, 1987
