Erik Erikson was under the tutelage of Sigmund Freud. He is identified as one of the psychoanalytic theorist who proposed the eight developmental stages spanning the entire life span of an individual. Each stage had to be resolved in order for the person to not have any life crisis later on in life.
Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth to 1 year)
Autonomy vs. Shame and doubt (1-3 years)
Initiative vs. Guilt (preschool, 3-6 years)
Industry vs. Inferiority (latency, 6-12 year)
Identity vs. Role confusion (Adolescence, 13-19)
Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood 19-35 years)
Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle adulthood, 25-64 years)
Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood, 65-death)
These stages characterized by Erikson were ideas arisen from Freudian theory but are more comprehensive. Infants fall into the beginning stage of Trust vs. Mistrust. This is a crucial stage since it will provide the foundation of the psychosocial tasks (terry and susan). Infants learn to trust that others will take of their basic needs, to include feeding, cleanliness, warmth and physical contact. If this is not accomplished mistrust will be developed and in turn cause a withdrawal and a lack of confidence. Autonomy versus shame and doubt is the second stage and …show more content…

The last stage in Erikson’s development integrity versus despair older adults tend to make sense of the decisions they have made and look if they have made accomplished their life’s goals. If they have made all their goals they would have had accomplished integrity. If they have not they will be dissatisfied with their life and will develop
