Stages of Human Development - Erik Erikson

Seeing in retrospect is rare indeed. We always look forwards onwards. Today I had ocassion to read erik erikson's eight stages in developement of man. And let me tell you Its an eye opener and we miss out on so many things.

The stages that make up his theory are as follows:1

Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust (Infancy from birth to 18 months)

Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (Toddler years from 18 months to three years)

Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt (Preschool years from three to five)

Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority (Middle school years from six to 11)

Stage 5: Identity vs. Confusion (Teen years from 12 to 18)

Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation (Young adult years from 18 to 40)

Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle age from 40 to 65)

Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair (Older adulthood from 65 to death)
