8 Etapas del Desarrollo de Erik Erikson

The theory identifies eight stages that a healthy individual must go through from birth to death, each stage presenting different needs that influence behavior and learning.

Babies explore the world and learn whether it is safe, developing trust if they can rely on others. Fear leads to doubts and mistrust in the mother.

In early childhood, self-discovery is key. Allowed to explore, children develop a sense of shame and self-importance.

Children try new things, ask questions, and pursue their interests. Recognition from family leads to industriousness or guilt if faced with negativity.

Influenced by peers during adolescence, children take on various roles and face an identity crisis, determining who they are and their place in the world.

Teenagers find their identity, which helps navigate the confusion of learning who they are and shaping their future.

Individuals understand themselves better, making commitments and forming intimate relationships with friends and partners.

Around age 40, individuals focus on creative pursuits and concern for the next generation, facing conflicts and seeking satisfaction.

As individuals slow down, they reflect on life and achievements, experiencing either satisfaction or despair, potentially becoming grumpy.

Ericson, influenced by Sigmund and Anna Freud, gained recognition for his work on identity crisis. He worked as a professor after completing his degree.
