Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of crisis the friend is experiencing is situational, as it is caused by a specific external event (losing her job). Adventitious crises are caused by unexpected events such as natural disasters, while maturational crises are related to changes in life stages. Emotional crises may occur without any external event trigger.
