Erik Erikson is the psychologist, who creates “Lifespan development”. Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of predetermined stages. In each stage of development, Erikson described conflicts that act as turning points in life. In Erikson’s view, these conflicts are centered on either developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.
In this theory, each person has eight stages of development during all life. They are - basic trust (0-18month), autonomy (18 month-3 years), initiative (3-6), industry (7-12), identity (12-18), intimacy (20-young adults), generativity (late 20’s -50) and ego-integrity (50-beyond). Each stage builds on the preceding stages, and paves the way for subsequent stages. Each stage
