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’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.

Theorist Erik Erikson: Psychosocial Theory Judith K. Fell Concordia University Wisconsin February 27, 2013 Theorist Erik Erikson The psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson is highly and widely regarded. Erickson was a humanitarian as well as psychoanalyst. Therefore, his theory is far beyond mere psychoanalysis and is very useful in numerous applications involving either personal development or awareness of an individual or group of individuals (Austrian, 2008). Erikson’s theory asserts that individuals experience eight main psychosocial crisis stages which greatly influence personality and development of each person. He emphasized that psycho-development and personality growth is a continuous process, not terminated at physical maturity.

Wilhelm Wundt, a middle-aged professor, constructed an experimental apparatus that was designed to measure people's reaction times of when a ball would hit and when they would press the button.

www.aspsychology101.wordpress.com Key assumptions of the Psychodynamic Approach This approach to psychology relies on four key assumptions. It is important that you understand that the Psychodynamic Approach is all about Freud, his ideas and the concepts from his psychosexual theory, all of which you will come onto over the next two chapters. That is why these four key assumptions are Freud’s ideas, and it is not true that everyone will agree that they are all definitely correct. The key assumptions of the approach are: the importance of the first five years As you will learn in the coming chapters through Freud’s ideas, Freud believed that the first five years of life are the most important in terms of forming a personality, and that if there are any unsolved problems at one particular stage at this time in your life, your gender development will be disrupted development occurs through stages that all children pass through Freud’s theory suggests that there are three psychosexual stages (five in total, if also counting the two extra periods) which happen in sequential order, and if a child does well in each stage and no problems arise, they may move on to the next stage and they will go on to develop healthy, normal relationships later on in life the significance of the unconscious The unconscious part of the mind is the largest and most powerful, and Freud was definitely interested in this area of the mind, which he said was almost inaccessible, but he believed accessing it was the cure for neurosis the presence of energy and libido energy Freud stated that we all have a certain amount of energy which does not ever increase or decrease, but remains with us throughout all psychosexual stages and life, and some of this energy is called ‘libido’ which means sexual energy, which leads to Freud’s theory being called psychosexual, as you will discover later
