Eight Stages of Development by Erik Erikson

The video explains Erik Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development, from infancy to late adulthood. Each stage presents a conflict that individuals must resolve to develop healthily. The stages include trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and ego integrity vs. despair. Erikson's work, influenced by Freud, highlights the importance of social relationships and identity formation throughout life.
