Erikson's Stages of development

There are several stages of development by Erickson. They includes:

1. Trust vs. Mistrust (birth-1 year)

2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (2-3 years)

3. Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)

4. Industry vs. Inferiority (6-11 years)

5. Identity vs. Identity Diffusion (12-18 years)

6. Intimacy vs. Isolation (early adulthood: 19-mid 20s)

7. Generativity vs. Stagnation/Self-Absorption (middle age: late 20s-50s)

8. Integrity vs. Despair (old age: 60s and beyond)

Autonomy

This is simply known as the tendency of an individual to behave or act on their own act, to have a choice, view of separateness.

Shame and Doubt

This simply means to have doubt about oneself, to see oneself as inferior, cannot do anything right etc.

Autonomy versus shame and doubt

This is a stage in Erikson's theory. This stage simply shows the psychological conflict of toddlerhood and this can only be handled or resolved positively if parents can give/provide young children with the right guidance and right/good choices. It is known to be the 2nd stage of personality development in which the toddler try as much as possible for physical independence.
