Aging is a multidimensional and multidirectional process. From a life-span perspective successful development and aging in late adulthood and old age requires the accomplishment of different typical developmental tasks or the solution of the final psychosocial crisis postulated in Erikson's stage theory (ego-integrity versus despair). Some theories emphasize fundamental psychological processes of aging such as identify assimilation and identity accommodation, and processes stabilizing the self of the aging person (resilience). Negative images of aging and old age in the society may negatively influence the self-concept of elderly people and the way their needs are met by professionals and institutions.
