What did Erikson's work focus on primarily?

  • Human sexuality

  • The unconscious mind

  • Human personality

  • Ego development

Answer

Ego development, as introduced by Erik Erikson's theory, centers on the idea that people progress through a series of distinct stages throughout their lives. Each stage presents individuals with unique challenges and opportunities, and successful navigation of these stages leads to a healthy sense of self and competence. Erikson believed that these stages are universal and occur in a specific sequence, with each one building upon the previous one.
