According to Erikson, the ego must incorporate both maladaptive and adaptive ways of coping at each stage of psychosocial development. Maladaptive coping mechanisms are not suppressed but rather integrated into the personality, alongside adaptive coping mechanisms. This allows for a more nuanced and effective approach to problem-solving and emotional regulation.
