What is the crisis experienced in Erikson’s third stage of psychosocial development? How did Chrystell resolve this stage? What was the outcome of the crisis? Was it favorable or unfavorable?

What will be an ideal response?


In the third stage (play age) Chrystell faced the crisis of initiative versus guilt. There seemed to be a successful resolution to this stage because the case describes Chrystell going off on her own and choosing her own play activities. There was a potential for an unsuccessful resolution of this crisis when Chrystell’s little sister was born but her mother seemed to help her through it, discouraging Chrystell from over-punishing herself over her jealousy of her little sister.
