lesson 3 ERIKSON'S THEORY OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

ERIKSON'S THEORY OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

       Erickson's Theory of Psycho social Development

·         Trust vs. Mistrust(birth to 18 months)
             -Children develops a sense of trust when caregiver provide reliability, care and affection.

·         Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt(2 to 3 early childhood)
             -Children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence success leads to feelings of autonomy failure result in feeling of shame and doubt.

·         Initiative vs. guilt (3-5 Pres-school)
             -Children needs to begin a certain control and a power over the environment.

·         Industry vs. Inferiority(6-11 school age)
             -Children need to cope with new social and academic demands.

·         Identity vs. Role Confusion(12-18 adolescence)
             - teens need to develop a sense of self and personal identity.

·         Intimacy vs. Isolation (19-40 young adulthood)
              -young adults need to form intimate, loving relationships with other people.

·         Generality vs. Stagnation (40-60 middle adulthood)
              -Adults need to create or nurture tings that will outlast them, open by having children or creating positive change the benefits of other people.

My reflection- these theory identifies a series of eight stages, in which a healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late adulthood.
