| 4 Crisis Theories | Phases of Crisis Erikson's developmental crisis Stress Theory General Adaptation Theory |
| Phases of Crisis was proposed by | Lindemann and Caplan |
| Phases of Crisis states | problem arises that creates increased anxiety usual problem solving techniques fail = more anxiety trial and error attempts fail = more anxiety, escalates to panic overwhelmed by anxiety, serious personality disorganzation |
