From the Paper
?Over a hundred years ago, William Wordsworth wrote, ?The child is the father of the man.? In other words, who we are and what we experience as children at least partially dictates who we are and what we will do as adults. Erik Erikson?s theory of development followed this point of view. Erikson realized that no adult springs forth fully formed like Athena from the head of Zeus. Rather Erikson hypothesized that each human being goes through distinct developmental stages and that each stage has its own unique crisis or obstacle to overcome. Individuals who successfully navigate the crisis will develop a corresponding ?ego strength.? Those who do not will be left with maladaptive or malignant tendencies.?

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper lists and describes each of Erik Erikson's eight stages of development in the childhood socialization process. Erikson defined these eight stages based on his vast experience in psychological and therapeutic settings with children from all ages and all economic backgrounds and describes each stage as a psychological crisis which must be discovered and resolved before the child is able to reach the next stage.
From the Paper
"Much like the second stage, the parent's duty in the third stage is to encourage autonomy and self-initiation. This means providing the child with a setting in which to interact with other children. It also means providing them with plenty of stimulation, books, art projects, toys for physical play as well as for fine motor development that can be undertaken by the child without adult supervision. It is still important in this phase to be nurturing and supportive of the child's activities, but to balance that support with a reasonable amount of distance from the child."

Abstract
This paper examines how psychoanalytic theory has had one of the most influential impacts on personality theory and development.

Outline:
Introduction
Freud: Psychoanalytic Theory
Erikson and Development
Horney and Development
From the Paper
"It is of historical interest that although Freud spent nearly his entire life formulating, reformulating and developing his theories into one cohesive framework, the fundamental concepts behind psychoanalytic theory remained unrefined. It would be up to his followers to branch out from his theories, taking with them an important classical psychoanalytic construct that would later become a "neo-Freudian" theory independent of its classical roots. Although they shared the common notion that his view on sexuality was overemphasized, they retained the structural model of the psyche (particularly the ego) and, with regard to development, the different stages with corresponding tasks or conflicts that must be resolved for normal development.

Abstract
The paper examines Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development and presents examples of each stage. The paper then evaluates the relevance of Erikson today. The paper points out that despite new developments, Erikson's stages remain a useful starting point for psychologists who are conducting research into the development of personality.
From the Paper
"Erikson bases on psychosocial stages on the resolution of important conflicts. Each stage is characterized by a specific tension. To progress to the next stage of development, a person must be able to resolve that tension by overcoming the issues causing conflict.
The first stage, according to Erikson, lasts from birth to approximately 12 months. In this stage, an infant is struggling with trust vs. mistrust issues. She must learn that the world is not a scary place. If exposed to a loving and nurturing environment, she will learn to trust other people, especially her loved ones. If she does not overcome the tendency towards mistrust, she will see the world as a potential source of pain, frustration and uncertainty."

Stages of Development, 2004.
This paper compares Freud?s five stages of childhood development with Erikson?s eight stages of development.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details that five of Erikson?s stages line up roughly with Freud?s theory of human development, though they expand upon them and take much of the focus away from sex. The other three Erikson stages follow the continued course of an individual?s psychological life, something that Freud seemed to think terminates at early adulthood. The author believes that, while Freud?s work should be honored for its daring and its groundbreaking nature, Erikson?s is a more realistic and complete model. The paper continues that Erikson appears less committed than Freud to the idea that all dreams are a form of wish fulfillment and tends to read a more symbolic nature into them.
From the Paper
"The first stage of development according to Freud is the ?Oral? stage. This stage lasts between one and two years, and during it the child?s needs are most focuses around oral pleasure such as that derived from nursing or sucking. A child who is frustrated at this stage (not fed sufficiently, for example, or not allowed to breastfeed) will have a variety of future development problems stemming from his oral nature and characterized by sarcasm, envy, suspicion, and pessimistic ideas about the world and relationships."

Abstract
This paper explains that Erik Erikson's theory explains how the sense of self that develops in the course of life both relates and sets apart an individual from his or her social environment. The paper then looks at each of the eight stages of development as theorized by Erikson. Erikson?s eight stages are: Infancy (Age 0-1); Toddler (Age 1-2); Early Childhood (Age 2-6); Elementary and Middle School Years (Age 6-12); Adolescence (Age 12-18); Young Adulthood (Age 19-40); Middle Adulthood (Age 40-65); and Late Adulthood (Age 65 to Death).
From the Paper
"The next stage or crisis that an individual must navigate occurs during the toddler years. In this phase, psychosocial development depends on the successful resolution of autonomy versus doubt or shame, which results due to dramatic changes in physical and language abilities. The natural development of early motor and cognitive skills leads to toddlers experimenting with decreasing their dependence on parents and other adult caregivers. The toddler?s desire for more autonomy leads to ?an extensive negotiation process between the young child and the caregiver, the one demanding to ?do it self mommy? and the other feeling the need to protect the child from harm.? When parents are able to allow the toddler to develop growing competence, self-confidence emerges."

Abstract
This paper describes Piaget's Theory of Childhood Development, Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development, Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory. The author points out that critics assert that many of the classic developmental theories do not adequately address social context; thereupon, Uric Bronfenbrenner developed an ecological theory, which includes social context, such as family, school, society and culture. The paper relates that, based on these theories, researchers developed a new programming environment called Electronic Blocks, specifically designed for children three to eight years old, to introduce meaningful technology education in an early childhood setting

Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory
Implications for Classroom Instruction
From the Paper
"Piaget's theory was developed by Jean Piaget to explain childhood development. According to this theory, moral sense arises from interactions between developing cognitive structures and expanding social experiences. Piaget outlined four stages of cognitive development (Jean Piaget's stage theory). The first stage, the Sensorimotor stage, occurs from birth to two years of age and involves the child's use of their senses and reflexes to form knowledge. There are six sub-stages in the Sensorimotor stage. The first stage from birth to six weeks emphasizes the development of basic reflexes while the second stage from six weeks to four months deals with the development of circular reactions as the infant modifies their reflexes in response to the environment."

Abstract
This paper explains that all PDD are neurological disorders, which is usually evident by age 3, with the child demonstrating severe and pervasive impairment in the development of social interaction and communication skills. The author points out that intervention programs not only address the child but also the parents and their role in the child developmental process. The paper relates that the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 and the 1990 amendments support special education by requiring that states provide free special education for all children with disabilities from birth to age 21 years and that children be taught in the "least restrictive environment" possible while also receiving the necessary attention for their special needs.
From the Paper
"A medical diagnosis can affect many areas of a child and the family's life because of the disorder itself and the attitude and barriers toward the disorder that are within society. When a child has a disorder, they are labeled most of the time disabled. Children who have disabilities face a variety of challenges within their personal lives. A physical disability makes it difficult to perform daily activities, such as performing personal hygiene routines, eating, and simply dressing themselves. These challenges can be overcome by providing a disabled child with assistive devices, help from others,..."

Abstract
This paper explores the life cycle stages every individual goes through as they grow older. The paper illustrates how the stages of adulthood can be categorized by the progression of the family stages. The paper focuses primarily on the theories of Erikson, Levinson and Jung.
From the Paper
"Throughout most of history, it has been assumed that adults reside on a developmental plateau. The supposition was made that during the time between adolescence and old age, there were no systematic changes occurring. This mode of thought remained in place until the early 20th century, when studies began to reveal significant developmental influences across the life span."

Developmental Disabilities, 2007.
An analysis of effective transition practices for students with developmental disabilities.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the challenges experienced by individuals who have developmental disabilities necessitate accessibility to transition practices and services. It looks at how these services aid individuals through the fostering of skills and provision of support, which may improve the likelihood that developmental disabilities will not hold individuals back from living up to potential and achieving goals. It contends that providing the skills, resources and support to ensure successful transition to adult life for students with developmental disabilities should be a priority for educators, clinicians and parents. The process should be approached from a longitudinal perspective, beginning in elementary school and extending through high school, into working life, and should continually be monitored and attended to throughout adult life.
From the Paper
"It is important to evaluate what types of educational and transitional experiences are most conducive to optimal functioning by individuals with developmental disabilities in integrated, post-school settings (Neubert, Moon, Grigal, 2002). Key features of successful transition practices have been identified, such as age-appropriate social interactions with same-age peers, attending classes and social functions on college campuses, working in the community, as well as participation in community-based instruction during the last few years of school (Neubert et al., 2002). Research has indicated a specific need for specialized transition services for individuals with developmental disorders who are between the ages of 18 and 21, which must include choices in regards to education, career, and support services (Neubert et al., 2002).

From the Paper
"The societal view of people with developmental disabilities such as autism, down's syndrome, and mental retardation is complicated. On the one hand, there is a tradition in Western healthcare of institutionalizing these clients and keeping them separate from society. On the other hand, there is a growing movement for the integration of these individuals into productive roles into society through assisted living, independent living, and other alternatives stressing independence and empowerment of the disabled individual. This is sometimes known as the respective eras of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization in respect to individuals with developmental disabilities and how society views them. Seltzer et. al (2001) remark that "Many agencies that provide services to individuals with mental retardation were created in the era of deinstitutionalization (sic) and many still serve individuals who previously lived in state institutions whose families may not be highly involved."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Early diagnosis and appropriate educational programs are very important to children with autism or PDD. Public Law 105-17, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), includes autism as a disability category. From the age of three, children with autism and PDD are eligible for an educational program appropriate to their individual needs. Educational programs for students with autism or PDD focus on improving communication, social, academic, behavioral, and daily living skills. Behavior and communication problems that interfere with learning sometimes require the assistance of a knowledgeable professional in the autism field who develops and helps to implement a plan which can be carried out at home and school."
