A person may be working to fulfill their basic physical needs, but still feel the pull to pursue stability in their home, receive love and respect of others (POH). Erik Homberger Erikson: Psychosocial Stages Erik Erikson was born on June 15, 1902, in Frankfurt, Germany. He is known for his theory on psychosocial development of human beings. While his ideas were influenced by Freud, Freud was an id psychologist and Erikson was an ego…

Clarice P. Jones Referral Information: Clarice Precious Jones was referred to me by Ms. Weiss at the welfare office. While Ms. Jones stated she would no longer be relying on welfare, Ms. Weiss felt it was important that Ms. Jones was set up with an opportunity for counseling and therapeutic services. She was referred to me because I offer very low cost services on a sliding scale in a facility that runs much like a clinic for mental health services. From Ms. Weiss’ referral information, I…

that rewarding children for good behavior would make children more likely to repeat that good behavior, and avoid the negative punishment that children would have received for doing something bad (Grace). The final theorist I will talk about is Erik Erikson. Erikson is widely known for his eight stages of psychological crises, which were well influenced by Sigmund Freud. According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully revolves crises that are distinctly social in nature (McLeod).…

government is structured. Students at this age are often calling in question what is just and fair. In Erik Erikson Stages of Social-Emotional Development students at this point have reached the Industry Versus Inferiority (Competence) stage of development. As we see on the childdevelopmentinfo website “Here the child learns to master the more formal skills…

Subsequently, Parental Styles and Ainsworth’s Attachment theories will be analysed in relation to the authors upbringing. Lastly, a broader critique of Erikson’s theories will be analysed in association to the author in the South African context. Erik Erikson is yet today a profound psychologist due to his Stage Theory of Development (Fleming, 2004). His theory proposes that throughout the lifespan an individual will experience eight stages of crises whereby one will need to encounter two…

mature relationships. Lifespan stages was a new concept to me. I’ve heard of the specific lifespan age related periods but was not aware of the social conflicts associated with each. It was particularly interesting how my lifespan events related to Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development that I will hold onto as it can prove to be useful in identifying and preparing for social conflicts and the successful resolution of these as I continue through my…

Human life is set and determined by many factors which contribute to how we behave. Every person has a personality. The ideas of our own unique personalities is demonstrated by Erik Erikson’s Stages of development. These eight stages run from childhood to adult hood. In each of these stages there are positive and negative aspects that can contribute to our physical, emotional, intelligence, and social morals that make us who we are (Wade, Tarvis, Garry, 2014, p.489). Each of these stages…

When does a teenager cross the threshold from immaturity to maturity? Could it happen when teens turn eighteen? Century-old policies and rules dictate that eighteen year olds simply fall between the neediness of childhood and the responsibility of adulthood, not quite fitting into either category. Eighteen year olds, in legal terms, are adults but in society’s standards they still must wait a few more years before fully enjoying what adult life has to offer. Does that mean they still do not have…

One other theorist that Destiney can be compared to is Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson established eight stages of Psychosocial Development. These stages involved Trust vs. Mistrust, Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, Initiative vs. Guilt, Industry vs. Inferiority, Identity vs. Role Confusion, Intimacy vs. Isolation, Generativity vs. Stagnation, and Integrity vs. Despair. Destiny Hill has experienced two of the eight stages, which are Identity vs. Role Confusion and Intimacy vs. Isolation. Identity vs.…

The topic of isolation vs. intimacy has been analyzed since the 1900s when Erik Erikson made it stage 6 of his theory of psychological development. Isolation is at it’s highest effect during a person’s young adult life. Winston is a younger adult in George Orwell’s novel, 1984 (1944), and he is faced with the dilemma of isolation vs. intimacy when he begins to fall for a girl named Julia. As he lives in a futuristic society that eliminates the free thought of their citizens by forcing them to…
