Running head: PSYCHOSOCIAL STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT PAPER Psychosocial Stage of Development Paper Name University of Phoenix PSYCH 504 Instructor December 18, 2011 Psychosocial Stage of Development Paper Erik Erikson was a psychoanalyst who developed the theory of psychosocial development. Erikson believed that the achievements and failures of early childhood stages influence the later stages whereas later stages modify and transform earlier ones (Erikson, 2011). Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial theory explains eight developmental stages in which “physical, cognitive, instinctual, and sexual changes combine to generate an internal crisis whose resolution results in either psychosocial regression or growth and the development of specific virtues” (Erikson, 2011, par. 1). Included in this paper will be an explanation of the eight stages of Erikson’s psychosocial theory, and the current stages of development that I am currently in.
Centered on psychosocial development rather than psychosexual development, Erikson’s theory is influenced by Freud (Cherry, 2014a). One of the best known theories of personality in psychology is Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development (Cherry, 2014a). Believing personality develops in a series of stages, his theory describes the impact of social experiences across the entire lifespan (Cherry, 2014a). He emphasized that the role culture and society plays can result in conflicts that take place within the ego itself (McLeod, 2008). Erikson indicated every individual passes through eight developmental stages with each stage having a different psychological crisis, which must be resolved by the individual and each stage builds upon the successful completion of prior stages (“Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development,” 2014).
Erikson theory focuses on physical, emotional, and psychological stages of development. According to Erikson personality developed in eight developmental stages throughout life span and the need of each stage must be met or resolved before the move to the next stage. If individual needs are not met in a particular stage, it will affect the individual later in life. Erikson’s stages of development assessment findings of each age group and potential findings a nurse may discover includes: Infancy (birth to 18 months): Trust versus Mistrust. Children begin to learn the ability to trust others based upon the consistency of their caregiver(s).

IB Psychology 1 H435-2 Erikson’s psychological theory of psychosocial development in adolescents has been supported and disputed, showing many strengths and weaknesses, by a multitude of case studies most specifically Rutter et al and Espin et al. Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan and shows how he believes that personality develops in a series of eight different stages. Each stage in Erikson’s theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life and experiencing a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. He believes that if the “stage” is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery but if the stage is handled poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In Erikson’s view he sees these conflicts centered around developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.

Autobiography Paper Lifespan Development Miranda Jurgensen September 19, 2012 A man named Erik Erikson helped give light to the way we develop cognitively as humans. Erikson did this by giving an alternate view to psychosocial development. Erikson’s theory includes eight stages in our psychosocial development that explains how we come to understand interact socially, and how we come to understand ourselves. These eight stages occur throughout our lifespan. To define psychosocial development we say that the approach that encompasses change in our interactions with and understandings of one another, as well as in our knowledge and understanding of ourselves as members of society.

Case workers, child welfare services, and the psychological community alike have taken an interest as to the impact sibling separation has on an individual child. Sibling relationships are the most enduring of interpersonal ties and serve as important contexts for individual development (East & Khoo, 2005). The researchers wanted only to observe the effect that sibling relationships have on adjustment during tenure in foster care and other factors. A broad sample pool was used and factors such as age spacing, initial placement, duration of maltreatment, kinship vs. certified foster home, caregiver language, and disability were used as elimination (control) factors. This particular study used 78 sibling pairs (after elimination).
Promoting continuity of care that values the service users unique past, present and future individuality and recognizing and respecting the person’s role and contribution to family and wider society. By doing this you are respecting the individual, and what they have to offer to others, and making the individual still feel ‘needed’ and ‘useful’. 3. What is “consent” in adult social care? Consent means informed agreement to an action or decision; the process of establishing consent will vary according to an individual’s assessed capacity to consent.
