Question

Erikson's _____________ theory was created as an alternative psychodynamic view emphasizing social interaction with other people.

Answer 1

Answer:

psychosocial development      

Explanation:

Erik Erikson has given the theory of psychosocial development in which he has mentioned eight different stages from infancy or birth of the child to adulthood.

According to Erikson, in each of the stages an individual experiences a particular psychosocial crisis that can often have a negative or positive outcome or result for his or her personality development.

Psychosocial development came into existence after Erikson has criticized Sigmund Freud's psychosexual developmental stage because he believes that a child grows differently throughout the life irrespective of the five stages that Freud has to give. A psychosocial development includes the interaction between psychological development or the social environment.
