  1. Family Life Cycle:Eight Stages of Self Development

  2. Erik Erikson’s Eight Stages of Self Development Erik Erikson was a German-born American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst known for his theory on psychosocial development of human beings. He may be most famous for coining the phrase “identity crisis”.

  3. Erikson's stages of psychosocial development as articulated by Erik Eriksonexplain eight stages through which a healthily developing human should pass from infancy to late adulthood. • In each stage the person confronts, and hopefully masters, new challenges. • Each stage builds on the successful completion of earlier stages. The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to reappear as problems in the future.

  4. However, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological forces and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psycho social crisis of these two conflicting forces (as shown in the chart you will study). If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned attribute in the crisis), he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue. For example, if an infant enters into the toddler stage (autonomy vs. shame & doubt) with more trust than mistrust, he or she carries the virtue of hope into the remaining life stages

  5. Erik Erikson’s Eight Stages of Self Development Key Terms: • Personality: The characteristic ways each individual acts, thinks and feels • Identity: Your sense of who you are; your sense of self; who you are, what you want, what you can accomplish
