According to the sad person chart Juan is experiencing high amounts of depression. He scored seven points which encourages me to hospitalize the him even if it is involuntary. The way I concluded the sum of points was by the chart. Juan is male which makes it a higher risk that resulted in one point. His age falls between 18 years and 55 years that also makes him a higher risk, and another point was added. In the first sentence it states that he is depressed adding another point. Although, he…

1, Key emotional aspects taking place in adolescence (A) Erikson was an ego psychologist, who emphasized the role of culture and society and the conflicts that can take place within the ego itself. According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature. These involve establishing a sense of trust in others, developing a sense of identity in society, and helping the next generation prepare for the future. (McLeod, 2013). Erikson’s stage of…

8. Ethan was born on 2/25/12. He is three years and eight months old. Ethan was not very active in the time that I observed him, but they were doing a sit-down activity so that was to be expected. After everyone was sitting down at the table and had the activity explained to them, Ethan got up and ran away to the other side of the room because he did not want to participate in the activity. This is an example of a large muscle skill. The activity that Ethan was participating in was drawing…

Erikson in Elementary Schools Erik Erikson was a German developmental theorist in the mid to late 1900’s. His theory of psychosocial development shared some qualities with those of Sigmund Freud. Where Freud believed children’s development stopped around adulthood, Erikson believed people would continue to develop throughout their lifespan. His research suggested that humans develop through eight stages. “The psychosocial stages refer to Erikson’s basic psychological and social tasks, which…

“My Teenager Years- Struggling with My Identity and Codependency” (age 13-19) Erik Erikson characterized adolescence as a critical period in forming an identity and proposed that adolescents experience the conflict of identity versus role confusion (Zunker, 2016; Sigelman & Rider, 2015). So, what is an identity and how does it form? Identity refers to who you are and where you fit into society. The search for finding your own identity involves many factors and questions that we all look at in…

Theoretical Theory Erikson’s psychosocial theory will be the basis for my interventions strategy. According to Erik Erikson, rather than developing in psychosexual stages like Freud suggested, people develop through psychosocial stages. Development is constantly occurring throughout life and early and later experiences are equally important. People have a desire to interact with others socially. In each stage there is a crisis that needs to be resolved, the more triumph the healthier the…

Erick Erikson's psychosocial theory poses eight stages throughout life of psychosocial development. Each stage is characterized by an emotional challenge, and each stage builds on the last one. Erickson named the struggles that are faced in each stage as identity crisis. Stage one deals with trust and mistrust (birth to 1 year). This stage has to deal with the parents. If the parents are there for the child and cares for the child, then the child will establish trust, but if the the parent…

Erikson describes his fifth stage as Identity Confusion in which takes place during adolescence. Throughout this paper I will focus on…

Adolescence is the time for humans to find themselves and gain the skills that help guide who they will be in life. It is also when most people struggle with alienation. Two Asian-American boys experienced these feelings in distinctive ways. In Brian Kim’s “Arm Wrestling with Grandfather” and Shanlon Wu’s “In Search for Bruce Lee’s Grave”, themes of loneliness and role models present the reader with a unique basis for comparison and contrast. In both narratives, Kim and Wu were heavily…

Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory Intimacy vs. Isolation. According to Maria (1966) “identity achievement individuals have gone through a period of crisis and have made commitments to an occupation and ideology” (Adams & Kacerguis, 1980, p. 117). In this stage, adults seek meaningful relationships. Additionally, the goal of this stage is to “fuse identities” though intimacy (Adams & Kacerguis p. 118, 1980). During this time, she felt very isolated and alone living in the camps. However,…
