Using Erikson’s developmental theory as a framework, which of the following statements is an accurate representation of his ideas? An individual cannot progress to a later stage unless the earlier stage has been resolved successfully and completely. Highly intelligent individuals can skip specific stages and make progress at a faster rate than other people. Successful progression through the stages of development depends upon effective resolution of the Oedipal crisis.
