Abstract
In this essay, I have researched Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development and what examples he exemplified in his explanation of life cycles through the eight stages1. To prove his psychosocial development theory clearly, I examined my cousin, Burcu’s development from infancy to young adulthood. Throughout the essay, my main purpose is to determine the question; how can we observe Erikson’s life cycles and its effects on our example? As I won’t be able to witness her old ages, I do not have chance to interpret her psychosocial development according to Erikson’s last stages. The reason of choosing Erikson’s theory as an extended essay subject is that I have a deep interest of the things that give shape to human character and since I have begun to search psychosocial development, I believe that a person can easily be affected by his past while shaping his future. In my opinion, Erikson’s theory is quite interesting in a way of reflecting the development of human’s as I have clearly witnessed it through my cousin. The most crucial thing that I’ve deduced from Erikson’s theory is that if a person can solve the crisis he meets during the cycles, that person will reach the psychosocial maturity. If a person is successful in his achieving, he will easily overcome the problems which may appear in the future. Erikson’s main aim was to maintain a series of crisis from infancy to late adulthood, showing reasons which affect one’s ego identity. Erikson claimed that each crisis became crucial at its own stage but each arises in a less obvious form throughout life. In a nutshell, when I was writing this essay, I was deeply influenced by his sayings and started to delve into the subject in order to verify his theory.
