HM 3 Erikson

Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory outlines 8 stages of psychosocial development from infancy to late adulthood. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis between two opposing tendencies that must be resolved. For example, the first stage of infancy involves resolving trust vs mistrust, resulting in the virtue of hope if resolved positively. The stages continue through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, involving crises such as autonomy vs shame, identity vs role confusion, and generativity vs stagnation. Successful resolution of crises at each stage leads to further psychosocial growth.
