A Review of Erik Erikson's "Psychosocial Stages of Development" Theory.
In the late1950's, Erik Erikson proposed a theory that we all have core human needs. These core human needs are either met or not met at certain stages of development depending upon the quality of social interaction. If these needs are met, a person will develop a sense of well being and will develop the appropriate skills needed for positive social interactions. If not, there is a wounding in self-image, and loss of the skills needed for healthy social interaction. A wounded belief system about themselves and their world becomes the filter through which they see themselves; this belief system then influences their interactions in their world TODAY. For more information, refer to the an article written by S. A. McLeod (2013); click on the web address for this: http://www.simplypsychology.org/Erik-Erikson.html.
Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is consistent with the more recent "Attachment Theory" developed by Bolby and Ainsworth. Their theory emphasizes the importance of the early experiences of positive attachment with care-givers. A positive or negative attachment in early childhood development will impact a sense of self and an ability to form positive, comforting attachments with others in their lifetime. For more information, visit this web address: http://www.simplypsychology.org/attachment.html.
It would be realistic to say that when these core needs are not met at certain stages of our lives we experience internal emotions of loss; or perhaps "emptiness", "dis-ease", or "fear" may be better words to describe the internal environment that is formed within us.
The next worksheet is adapted from Erickson's psychosocial scale of development as well as information from Bolby's attachment theory. Understanding your very early losses will help you understand the loss you are experiencing in your current, NOW reality. The losses you experienced in the past will be your filter for how you see, believe and feel about your current life. Healing occurs as empathy and love flow into your past unresolved emotions and beliefs, and new perspectives from that comfort flows into your current life. It is a journey worth taking.
