How could Maslow’s theory explain Chrystell’s experiences? Are all her needs fulfilled? Explain. How do Maslow’s needs compare with the crises in Erikson’s stages?

What will be an ideal response?


All of Chrystell’s needs are fulfilled, according to Maslow’s theory. The case indicates that she receives enough food (physiological needs), for example. There is no indication of being in danger (safety needs). It is apparent that Chrystell is loved (love and belongingness needs). And her success in school should indicate that her esteem needs are met.
There are similarities between Maslow’s and Erikson’s theories. For example, one can go back and fix problems in both Erikson’s and Maslow’s theory, i.e., can fix problems in earlier stages in Erikson’s theory and go back to fulfill lower needs in Maslow’s theory. Similarly, outcomes in Erikson’s theory can be partially favorable, just as needs in Maslow’s theory can be partially met.
