Adjustment is a natural process of people who
face life events from birth to death. This process
starts with a birth of a demand and then it disturbs
established balances of the environment. İn order
to re-establish the disturbed balances, human beings
possess necessary mechanisms or they possess
the potential to develop these mechanisms. The important parts of development and adjustment
processes are reactions that are the result of
cognitive evaluations of the demands, evoked reactions,
and cognitive evaluation of the new situation.
These parts may determine the criteria to separate
healthy adjustment from unhealthy
adjustment.

Uyum doğumdan ölene dek günlük olaylarla
karşı karşıya gelen her insanın yaşadığı doğal bir
süreç olarak düşünülebilir. Bu süreç, insanın içinde
bulunduğu ortamda bir talebin doğması ile başlar
ve kurulu dengeleri bozar. Bozulan dengelerin tekrar
kurulabilmesi için insan gerekli bir çok mekanizmaya
zaten sahiptir, ya da bu mekanizmaları geliştirebilme
potansiyeli bulunmaktadır. Gelişme ve
uyum sürecinin önemli unsurları taleplerin muhakeme
edilişi sonucunda ortaya çıkan reaksiyonlar,
verilen reaksiyonların davet ettiği diğer reaksiyonlar
ve ortaya çıkan yeni durumun muhakemesidir.
Bu unsurlar sağlıklı ve sağlıksız uyumu birbirinden
ayıran kriterleri de belirleyebilirler.
