After graduating from the Imperial Ballet School in 1921, Balanchine enrolled at the state’s Conservatory of Music where he studied piano and musical theory.

Today Erikson’s stages are still in use by many educators, scientist and medical personal. On June 15, 1902, in Frankfurt, Germany, Erik Salomonsen was born to his mother Karla Abrahamsen and her husband Waldemar Isidor Salomonsen. This was not his biological father. In 1904, his mother remarried a pediatrician name Theodor Homburger. In 1909, Erik Salomonsen became Erik Homburger.
The foundational assumption is that most emotional and behavioral reactions are learned and can therefore, be unlearned. The most interesting of all psychologists throughout history is Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson (1902-1994), was born in Frankfurt, Germany and studied psychology under Anna Freud (Sigmund Freud's daughter) at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute. He did not desire the environment that formal schooling produced, so as an alternative to going to college he traveled around Europe, keeping a diary of his experiences. This lasted for a year and he returned to Germany and enrolled in art school.
M1 :Discuss the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual In this assignment I will be discussing the nature- nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual. The nature- nurture debate has been around for many centuries which argues about the role of heredity and environment in human development. The nature – nurture debate is concerned with particular aspects of behaviour which are believed to be either a product of inherited or learned characteristics. Some philosophers and theorists have argued that we are just born to be the way we are. Whereas other theorists have argued that is is the way we are brought up and influenced by our surroundings that makes an individual the way they are.
The nature-nurture debate is all about whether genetics (nature) or our environment (nurture) is responsible for our behaviour and development. Early theorists believed that our personality, intellect, behaviour and gender role were determined by our genes and therefore could not be changed. But an increasing amount of evidence has proved these theorists wrong, and our development as an individual is learnt through the environment we live in. One developmental stage of an individual that psychologists have the nature-nurture debate about is the intelligence stage. The nature side of that intelligence is present at birth and we already have a set amount of intelligence.
Thus, Alfred Alder received his medical degree from the university of Vienna in 1895 and got married in 1897 to a Russian intellectual and social activist whom he met during his university years. Even more, Alfred had different carriers, he began his medical career as an ophthalmologists but then he changed to general practice. Being in general practice and working with circus performers, he managed to study their unusual strengths and weaknesses. Those observations gave him an idea of his organ inferiority theory. This theory turned him to psychiatry where he joined Freud’s discussion group in 1907.
Melanie Klein was born the 30 of March of 1882 in Vienna. In 1918, Melanie Klein attends the International 5º Psychoanalytic Congress, with the presidency of Ferenczi, in which S. Freud reads “Lines of Advances in Psychoanalytic Therapy”. This Congress made in the days of war causes a strong impression in Klein and according to herself remembers: “that impression fortified my desire to dedicate me to the psychoanalysis. (Grosskurth, 1986) During the analysis with Ferenczi, this one I am called the attention about my great dowries to understand to the children and of my interest in them and encouraged much my idea to dedicate itself to the analysis of children (...) I have not seen (...) that the education could cover the totality with the understanding of the personality and that, therefore, it has the influence that one would wish that it had. I always felt that behind there was something never gets to perceive.”(Grosskurth, 1986) Ferenczi assigns like assistant of Anton Von to it Freud in the task of organizing the education of the psychoanalysis in the Society of Infantile Investigation.
This paper will discuss the 8 psychosocial theories that Erikson made and will analyze the validity of each of the stages. Erik Erikson was born in 1932 at Frankfurt Germany to Danish parents. Under the direction of Anna Freud, the daughter of the late Sigmund Freud, he began to study psychoanalysis. After spending time traveling around Europe, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1933 and filled a position at Harvard Medical School as America’s first child analyst (Sharkey, 1997). In addition to working at Harvard Medical School, he also had a private practice in child psychoanalysis.
After several years, Erikson began to teach art and other subjects to children of Americans who had come to Vienna for Freudian training. He was then admitted into the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute. In 1933 he came to the U.S. and became Boston's first child analyst and obtained a position at the Harvard Medical School. Erik Erikson explored three aspects of identity: the ego identity (self), personal identity (the personal idiosyncrasies that distinguish a person from another, social/cultural identity (the collection of social roles a person might play). Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development considers the impact of external factors, parents and society on personality development from childhood to adulthood.
