Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of quality of life with the special focus on its developmental aspects. Conceptualisation of the notion of quality of life was based on the views proposed by Tomaszewski and Kowalik. An interesting complement to these approaches is provided by Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. Although Erikson did not undertake an empirical study on the issue of quality of life, the developmental crises distinguished by him can be related to the process of improvement of quality of life. Successful solving of the crises and developmental achievements were analysed in eight developmental stages. In the final part of the paper the relationship between the quality of life and the hierarchy of needs according to Maslow is presented. Moreover, the practical implications of the presented issues are raised. Key words: Quality of life, quality of life in the context of development, developmental crises.
