Psychosocial

Introduction In addition to the beginning stages of life and Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, the last four stages apply to young adulthood and late adulthood. The last four stages of Erikson’s psychosocial stages are adolescence (12-18), young adulthood (19-40), middle adulthood (40-65), and late adulthood (65 to death). During adolescence, the central crisis of identity vs role confusion occurs. In young adulthood, intimacy vs isolation begins. Middle adulthood, the central crisis generativity

Erikson’s Psychosocial Development theory looks at, “predictable stages of human development from childhood to adulthood,” (Holloway et al.,  2010, p.101). Psychosocial Development assumes that, “There is a depicted series of eight stages in which an individual’s identity emerges and matures” (Holloway

Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development Erik Erikson, a German psychologist of the early 1900s, is most known for his theory on psychosocial development in humans. He was heavily influenced by his work with Anna Freud and her father, Sigmund Freud. However, in his research, he put emphasis on the cultural and social impact on identity development and studying the ego, which he believed developed with successful crisis resolving throughout life (“Erikson’s Stages”, 2007). He proposed the

all children go through the same 4 stages, even if it happens at different times. Erik Erikson believed that the sociocultural elements that we experience can affect our personality, therefore we need to get through every step of his theory of Psychosocial development. The following is going to describe the stages each of these men made and how I see it throughout my life.

Unlike Freud, who believed human beings went through stages of psychosexual development, Erikson created his own stages focusing less on sexual pleasures and more on the psychosocial aspects of an individual from birth to late adulthood. Therefore, the psychosocial development focuses on how a person
