Erikson's stage model of psychosocial development forms the basis for understanding developmental crises. Each stage is associated with a psychosocial crisis to be resolved. Successful resolution of each maturational stage leaves a person better able to meet the interpersonal challenges and stressors of the next. Lindemann and Caplan are considered primary contributors to the development of crisis theory. Caplan broadened Lindemann's model to include developmental crisis and personal crisis. Although the direct focus of crisis intervention is on secondary prevention because the crisis state is already in motion, Caplan applied concepts of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention to crisis intervention. Aguilera developed a nursing model identifying how a crisis develops and corresponding factors needed for resolution. Roberts provides a seven-stage sequential blueprint for clinical intervention, which can be used to structure the crisis intervention process in nurse-patient relationships. This model is compatible with the nursing process sequencing of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
