Erikson

Erik Erikson was a psychologist who developed a theory about how people grow and develop throughout their lives. He proposed that our personality develops in eight stages, each characterized by a key conflict that we need to resolve. Successfully navigating these conflicts helps us build a healthy sense of identity and confidence, while failure might lead to challenges later. These stages span from infancy to old age, emphasizing that development is a lifelong process influenced by our experiences and relationships. His work helps us understand how personal growth unfolds over time.
