Eriksons Life Cycle a Case Study PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIALOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOUR H.N.C. SOCIAL CARE OUTCOME 1 In this essay, I intend to explain the classic life cycle theory of Erik Erikson, and apply that to the development of personality and identity of “James” taking into account the nature and nurture debate. Eriksons theory (which is based on Freud’s theory but is more society and culture oriented) has eight stages of development, with a different conflict that must be resolved at each stage, the person has two choices in handling each crisis, or task, being either adaptive or maladaptive, when each task is solved and there is a change in personality, then the individual can move on to the next stage.
