Question 4

Briefly sketch the life of Erik Erikson and contrast his theory with Freud's. Discuss Erikson's contribution to psychoanalytic theory and identify the main points of his approach, including a definition of identity crisis and Erikson's conception of the ego. List the stages of personality development according to Erikson's theory and for each stage give an example of the basic crisis involved.

Accepted Answer

Erik Erikson was a German-American psychologist known for his work in developmental psychology and psychoanalysis. He was born in 1902 and died in 1994. Erikson's theory of psychosocial development expanded on Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory, focusing on the impact of social and cultural factors on individual development.

In contrast to Freud's emphasis on the role of sexual instincts in development, Erikson's theory emphasized the importance of social relationships and the influence of society on personality development. He also introduced the concept of the ego identity, which he defined as a sense of self that is developed through social interaction and exploration of one's own abilities and values.

Erikson's contribution to psychoanalytic theory lies in his emphasis on the role of social and cultural factors in shaping personality, as well as his focus on the entire lifespan, rather than just childhood. He also introduced the concept of the identity crisis, which refers to the internal conflict and confusion that individuals experience when they are exploring and defining their own identity.

Erikson's theory of psychosocial development consists of eight stages, each characterized by a specific crisis or challenge. These stages are:
1. Trust vs. Mistrust (infancy) - the basic crisis involves developing a sense of trust in the world and others.
2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (toddlerhood) - the basic crisis involves developing a sense of independence and self-control.
3. Initiative vs. Guilt (preschool) - the basic crisis involves developing a sense of purpose and the ability to initiate activities.
4. Industry vs. Inferiority (school age) - the basic crisis involves developing a sense of competence and mastery.
5. Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence) - the basic crisis involves developing a sense of identity and direction in life.
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood) - the basic crisis involves developing the ability to form intimate relationships.
7. Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood) - the basic crisis involves finding a sense of purpose and contributing to society.
8. Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood) - the basic crisis involves coming to terms with one's life and mortality.

Overall, Erikson's theory of psychosocial development emphasizes the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping personality, and his concept of the identity crisis has had a significant impact on our understanding of human development.
