CHILD DEVELOPMENT
THEORIES
Part 3
PSYCHOANALITIC CHILD
DEVELOPMENT THEORY
BY SIGMUND FREUD
The theory proposed by Sigmund Freud stressed the
importance of childhood events and experiences, but
almost exclusively focused on mental disorders rather
than normal functioning.
According to Freud, child’s development is described as
a series of ‘psychosexual stages.’ In “Three Essays on
Sexuality” (1915), Freud outlined these stages as oral,
anal, phallic, latency and genital.
Each stage involves the satisfaction of libidinal desire
and can later play a role in adult personality. If a child
does not successfully complete a stage, Freud suggested
that he or she would develop a fixation that later
influence adult personality and behavior.
Stage Age Characteristics
Oral Birth to 1 An infant’s primary interaction with the world is through the mouth. The mouth is vital for
Stage year eating, and the infant derives pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying activities
such as tasting and sucking. If this need is not met, the child may develop oral fixation later
in life, examples of which include thumb-sucking, smoking, fingernail biting and
overeating.
Anal 1 to 3 Freud believed that the primary focus of the libido was controlling bladder and bowel
Stage years movements. Toilet training is a primary issue with children and parents. Too much pressure
can result in an excessive need for order or cleanliness later in life, while too little pressure
from parents can lead to messy or destructive behavior later in life.
Phallic 3 to 6 Freud suggested that the primary focus on the id’s energy is on the genitals. According to
Stage years Freud, boy’s experience Oedipal Complex and girl’s experience and Electra Complex, or an
attraction to the opposite sex parent. To cope with this conflict, children adopt the values
and characteristics of the same-sex parent, thus forming the superego.
Latent 6 to During this stage, the superego continues to develop while the id’s energies are suppressed.
Stage 11years Children develop social skills, values, relationships with peers and adult outside of the
family.
Genital 11 to 18 The onset of puberty causes the libido to become active once again. During this stage,
Stage years people develop a strong interest in the opposite. If development has been successful to this
point, the individual will continue to develop into a well-balance person.
ERIK ERIKSON
Theorist Erik Erikson also proposed a stage
theory of development, but his theory of
development, but his theory encompassed human
growth throughout the entire human lifespan.
Erikson believed that each stage of development
was focused on overcoming a conflict. For
example, the primary conflict during the
adolescent period involves establishing a sense of
personal identity.
Success or failure in dealing with the conflicts at
each stage can impact overall functioning.
During the adolescent stage, for example, failure
to develop an identity results in role confusion.
Stage Basic conflict Important Events Outcome
Infancy Trust vs. Mistrust Feeding Children develop a sense of trust when caregivers provide
(birth to 18 months) reliability, care, and affection. A lack of this may lead to
mistrust.
Early Childhood Autonomy vs. Shame and Toilet Training Children need to develop a sense of personal control over
(2 to 3 years) Doubt physical skills and a sense of independence. Success leads to
feeling autonomy, failure results in feelings of shame and
doubt.
Preschool Initiative vs. Guilt Exploration Children need to begin asserting control and power over the
(3 to 5 years) environment. Success in this stage leads to a sense of purpose.
Children who try to exert too much power experience
disapproval, resulting in a sense of guilt.
School Age Industry vs. Inferiority School Children need to cope with new social and academic demands.
(6 to 11 years) Success leads to a sense of competence, while failure results in
feelings of inferiority.
Adolescence Identity vs. Role Social Relationships Teens need to develop a sense of self personal identity.
(12 to 18 years) Confusion Success leads to an ability to say true to yourself, while failure
leads to role confusion and weak sense of self.
Young adulthood Intimacy vs. Isolation Relationships Young adults need to form intimate, loving relationships with
(19 to 40 years) other people. Success leads to strong relationships, while
failure results in loneliness and isolation.
Middle Adulthood Generativity vs. Stagnation Work and Parenthood Adults need to create or nurture things that will outlast them,
(40-65 years) often by having children or creating a positive change that
benefits other people. Success leads to feelings of usefulness
and accomplishments, while failure results in shallow
involvement in the world.
Maturity Ego Integrity vs. Despair Reflection on Life Older adults need to look back on life and feel a sense of
(65 to death) fulfillment. Success at this stage leads to feeling of wisdom,
while failures results in regret, bitterness, and despair.
