Document Summary
Attended art school then taught art at vienna psychoanalytic society. Collaborated with anthropologists to study childrearing among american indian tribes. Differences in childrearing practices among the tribes inspired his focus on the role of culture in development. Expanded the stage sequence so it covered the entire lifespan. Follow the epigenetic principle a biological plan for growth that allows each function to emerge systematically until the fully functioning organism has developed (p. 230) Each stage refers to a qualitative different behavior pattern. Each stage describes general issues being dealt with. Stages are invariant all people go through them in the same order due to biological maturation. Each stage comes whether or not the previous was positively resolved though outcomes in one stage can impact future stages. Stages are culturally universal same across cultures (though exactly how different cultures interact with developing person at each stage varies by cultural values i. e. , infant weaning)
