    History of Psychosocial
    Theory
    Erikson was one of the first
    psychologists to become aware of
    the influence of culture on behavior.
    He placed more emphasis on the
    external world, meaning depression
    and wars.
    The three key factors to Eriksons
    theory are the interaction of the
    body, mind, and cultural influences.

    Eriksons Philosophy
    His basic philosophy rests on two themes:
    The world gets bigger as we go along
    And failure is cumulative.

    If an individual has dealt with a terrible


    past as a child, they might not be able to
    cope with scenarios that life presents
    later on.
    However, human spirit can always be
    ignited and overcome these problems.

    Overview
    Erikson has eight developmental
    stages that gives people an idea of
    what to expect throughout life.
    Behavior is based on culture
    experiences.
    Each person has the ability to choose
    their path when it comes to his eight
    stages.
