Assignment 2: LASA 1: Development Throughout the Lifespan

Erikson and Freud are two of the few theorists who have developed a lifespan approach to development. Freud’s approach to development was psychosexual while Erikson’s was psychosocial. Even though Freud’s theory is better known, Erikson’s theory remains a leading and very much applied model in personality and developmental psychology today. When considering these two stage-oriented theories, you can directly compare the majority of their stages. These are matched in the following table:
Approximate Age Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial development
Infancy (Birth to 1 year) Oral stage Trust versus mistrust
Early childhood (1–3 years) Anal stage Autonomy versus doubt
Preschool (3–6 years) Phallic stage Initiative vers
