ERIK ERIKSONS PSYCHOSOCIAL STAGES IN

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

According to the theory, successful completionof each stage results in a healthy personalityand the acquisition of basic virtues. Basicvirtues are characteristic strengths which the

ego can use to resolve subsequent crises. Failure to successfully complete a stage can

result in a reduced ability to complete furtherstages and therefore a more unhealthy

personality and sense of self. These stages,however, can be resolved successfully at a latertime.
