Development Theories

Erik Erikson elaborated Freuds genital stagein adolescence, and added three stages of maturity date (William, 2011). The eight stages according to Mcleod are Trust Versus Mistrust (birth 1 year), shore leave vs. Shame and Doubt (2 3 years), Initiative vs. Guilt (3 5 years), persistence (competence) vs. Inferiority (6 12 years), Identity vs. Role Confusion (13 18 years), companionship vs. Isolation (young adulthood), Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood) and Ego Integrity vs. Despair (old age). I am going to discuss the first two.At infancy, children assume to trust or/and misgiving people and environment. I still have family members I am uneasy being around because they use to tickle me as a child. straightway there is always a sense of mistrust when I am around them. As toddlers, (18 months-3 years) take pride in self and learn to face fears or self-doubt. This is the stage where we gain sphincter control and startle potty training. If our caregivers are overl y critical or impatient, or if they write down our efforts, we develop feelings of shame and doubt.After my mum showed me a few times how to go potty, I would tell her I did not want her in the can and I could do it myself. This gave me a sense of autonomy and self-esteem. For Erikson, psychosocial development involves veritable crises which the individual must face at each stage. Reference McLeod, S. A. (2008).
