Freud’s psychoanalysis. Erik Erikson’s development theory expanded on Freud’s original five stages of development, consisting of a new eight psychosocial stages of development known as The Life Cycle. The ego and sexual development are a large focus for Erik Erikson’s stages. In each of his stages there are two main terms for the child to learn and they are always opposites of each other. In addition to psychologists today still using Erikson’s stages of development for assessments on patients, research
social stages a person must go through as they mature. Each stage has a positive characteristic and a negative characteristic. If positive characteristics are fulfilled then their future will look good. So to what extent can the lack of reinforcement to the positive characteristics of Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development effect you? The effects can be quite horrifying. Especially if all of the stages the only characteristics fulfilled are the negative aspects. Erikson’s first stage was trust
family, friends and our experiences. Erikson’s (1959) theory of psychosocial development has eight distinct stages that help us understand
Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development consist of eight stages. Stages six, seven, and eight are characterized as young adulthood, adulthood, and old age, in that order. According to John Cavanaugh and Fredda Blachard-Fields (2011), authors of Adult Development and Aging, “During young adulthood, the major developmental task, achieving intimacy versus isolation, involves establishing a fully intimate relationship with another. With the advent of middle age, the focus shifts from intimacy
Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages of Development consist of eight stages we encounter as we develop and grow. After successfully resolving an emotional crisis within a stage, we then proceed to the next one. Erikson believed that human development covers the entire lifespan, rather than ending during adolescence. If we are unable to resolve the crisis during any one stage, either due to a personal or environmental factor, it would prohibit us from moving on. Section 1 - Infancy (Trust vs. Mistrust)
There are eight stages of psychosocial development, according to Erik Erikson. Erikson’s first stage is infancy, which approximates from birth to one year old. The issue for infants is trust vs. mistrust. In this stage, infants depend on others for food and warmth; therefore, infants must be able to trust the parent for providing those. If the infants’ needs are properly cared by the parent, infants will not only develop trust and security attachment with the parents, but also trust their environment
The teenage years are one of the most significant times of development during a person’s life. Erik Erikson’s fifth stage of psychosocial development is adolescence or more specifically titled identity vs role confusion. During this time in a child’s life, they start to make changes both physically and mentally that transition them into adulthood, and begin to question who they are amongst society. In this stage children begin to become more independent, and start to plan for things to come such
The last stage of Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, which I have no personal experience with, is the crisis between integrity and despair. Swartwood (2014, p. 86) states that at this stage individuals “struggle [with] the acceptance of impending death and the fact that our lives are primarily historical, rather than in the future.” When the elderly look back on their lives and realize that they lived their life with purpose, they are filled with a sense of integrity. On the other hand
Erik Erikson is an American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst known for his theories on the psychosocial development of human beings. Erikson's theories explain eight developmental stages that start at infancy and continues throughout one's life span. These eight stages include: Trust versus Mistrust, Autonomy versus Doubt and Shame, Initiative versus Guilt, Industry versus Inferiority, Identity versus Identity-confusion, Intimacy versus Isolation, Generativity versus Stagnation, and

Her experience as a teenage mother, growing up in poverty, and history of abuse all have implications for the development of her identity, cognitive functioning, and biological factors. We will focus on Erikson’s Psychosocial Stage for Adolescents to gage the evolution of Precious’s growth, while addressing the person
there are different stages that are encountered in life. This is not only through chronological changes, but through psychosocial changes as well. This is referred to as the Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development. Within this process there are eight stages or crisis and each presents a passing to the next stage or fail and resulting psychosocial outcome including susceptibility to substance use and resulting long-term consequences into adulthood. The first stage occurs in the first
own theories were developed from Freud’s. Neo-Freudians agreed with Freud that childhood experiences play a role in personality development, but differed by putting less emphasis on sex, the unconscious mind, and instinctual drives. Instead, Neo-Freudians put their focus on how culture, interpersonal relationships, and social environment affected personality development. The aim of this paper is to analyze Neo-Freudian theories, more specifically theories proposed by Erik Erikson, and how these theories

This analysis will focus on the normal course of development in middle childhood as it applies to the theorist Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages and then give examples of what may happen if the developments are not carried out. In middle childhood (aged 6-12), the child will experience the Industry vs. Inferiority stage. This is the fourth stage of Erikson’s psychosocial stage. With
Discuss Erikson 's stages of psychosocial development. Explain the aspects of this theory that are the most convincing. Erikson felt that one of the most important states is the intimacy versus isolation where we learn to build intimate relationships. Which stage do you believe is the most significant and Why? Stage 1- Trust vs. Mistrust This stage deals with the ages from birth to 1 year. This is the stage when infants learn who they can trust and cannot trust. When care, attention, love
Erikson 's third stage of psychosocial development is Initiative vs. Guilt. This stage generally occurs between ages of 3 to 6 years, and during this stage the child initiates new activities and considers new ideas. The child demonstrates an increased interest in exploring the world, and as a result the child becomes involved and busy. Children often become aware of their personhood in the Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt stage of psychosocial development, and so often times during the Initiative vs
For this journal, I chose to reflect back on the early adolescence stage of my life. This part of my life was particularly hard for many reasons. Although it was not the best time of my life, the things that I experienced in the past have shaped me into the person that I am today and I view myself as a lot stronger than I would have been without these experiences. During this stage of development, there were many changes going on regarding my social life. Starting in 8th grade, a girl began to bully

The first five years of children are particular important due that the brain is like a sponge swallowing all the information that it receives, so is important to give children
Stage 1 plays on the idea of trust verses mistrust. According to Erikson, she will not be able to move on to the next stage of her life until she has mastered the first one (p. 112). Once she has mastered the first one, she cannot move on until she masters the second one, and so forth and so on. If she does not master the stage that she is in, she will be stuck there until she can (p.112). Fortunately, this is not
Erikson was a developmental psychologist and he was very well known at the time of his psychosocial development among human beings. Erikson developed eight stages that show growth across a lifespan in every human being. Each of the stages that Erickson developed, build on one another and after every successful stage the outcome is called “virtue”. Erikson believed that difficulty on one stage can have a result later on in life. There is one main contradiction between Erikson and Freud which is
