Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial stages, is considered a significant concrete basis for understanding human progression, and development (Arnold, 2016). This essay will identify two individuals’ lifespan development stages from Erik Erikson’s theory, furthermore, explain the relevance of the identified stages in accordance with, the communication used between the pair. From this communication further identifying and describing meta-communication factors, that influenced the interpretation of the effective communication. In the clip of the two individuals, there are two factors that contributed to conflict that will be identified and discussed. Lastly, two strategies will be identified that were employed to reduce additional conflict. Subsequently, …show more content…
A clear example of this is when the doctor explains to the client, what is going to happen to him if he were to move, his tone of voice is stern and assertive. Demonstrating the seriousness of the consequences, this is an effective use of therapeutic communication, because the client appears to momentarily understand. His’s tone of voice becomes soft and there is no aggressiveness to his pitch (Arnold, 2016). Two factors that may have contributed to conflict throughout this clip is miscommunication and intoxication. The patient’s miscommunication throughout the clip is evident, in contributing to factors of conflict. Miscommunication can be a struggle in a lot of nursing practises, where the patient needing help does not fully comprehend their circumstance, this results in the patient being afraid and scared. Which can come out in a negative perception. Therefore, the client not being able to understand or realize the situation accurately, he becomes almost unable, to restrain in the neck brace.

The nurses and doctors worked as a team, using the resolution strategy of collaboration (Baddar, Olfat, & Villagracia, 2016). There are several health care providers, attempting to communicate with the client, to reduce his anxiety verbally. Each health care provider attempts to minimise the conflict by trying to collaborate an understanding with him, one nurse trying to speak to him, relating his situation to a scenario about Batman (Boggs, 2016). But he continues to remain aggressive, as his psychosocial ego stressor is peaking in the negative state; driven by his confinement to the supine position, which is compromising his abilities (Crisp, Douglas, Ribeiro, & Waters, 2017). By utilising a team of healthcare providers that were available, it aided in minimising the conflict, as the patient was not limited to only one health care provider, he had a comprehensive range of healthcare providers, with a wider range of experience and knowledge to explore all the options to help him (Boggs,
Discuss Erikson 's stages of psychosocial development. Explain the aspects of this theory that are the most convincing. Erikson felt that one of the most important states is the intimacy versus isolation where we learn to build intimate relationships. Which stage do you believe is the most significant and Why?
The first years of our lives are said to have a huge impact on the rest of our life. It can shape us for the good or cause some bad effects on us as well. Understanding what makes infants and young children turn into good people is important. Using psychology we can test and find what makes a baby turn out better in the long run. Also, psychologists understand that a baby that may be behind or ahead of the average baby is because of that babies environment and their genes. These and many other things, help us understand that the first years of our lives are the most important.
The psychosocial stage represented by adolescence, as we can see from Erikson’s model, is the resolution of the conflicts raised by the profusion of role changes in adolescent life. Healthy resolution of these conflicts would mean that the person would be able to adjust to the changing role demands of the period of adolescence while still retaining a strong sense of their own lasting personal identity. If the increasing role demands of adolescence placed too great a stress on the individual, then identity diffusion would result. This means that the individual would become confused about who they were, in view of all the different roles which they seem to be acting
The focus of this model is for leadership to empower staff members with opportunities, information, support, and resources to facilitate engaged relationships that, in the long run, will facilitate staff in empowering patients by providing opportunities, support, information, and resources to reflect on their well-being. Opportunities being referred to in this model are training opportunities; training trauma-informed care. The model also requires that information be provided to increase understanding that behaviours such as self-harm in patients, can be as a result of a neurobiological response to trauma. In this way, the model follows patient centred care since it looks at the patients’ needs for effective treatment. Information about patient preferences is utilized to come up with a comprehensive list of physical, emotional, and cognitive responses to stress. The list focuses on triggers that can cause stress, calming activities and past experiences with restraint and seclusion. This follows quality improvement competency since patient data analysis enables the staff to come up with a better way to treat them. The model also emphasizes on teamwork by enhancing support. The theme of support refers to a collaboration between the staff and the leadership. Collaboration is achieved in schedule meeting and during shifts. There’s also the need for availability of patient’s
An example when an adult was scaffolding an infant during the time I was observing Lab 1 would be when George of 1 year and 3 months was wobbly walking and exploring his surroundings and worryingly one of the instructors said “no, no” and instead he walked towards another designated play era and uncertain he looked back and made eye contact with the same instructor. She reassured him that he could go play into the area by gesturing and saying “that’s okay ” so he proceeded to play in that area.
The last stage of Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, which I have no personal experience with, is the crisis between integrity and despair. Swartwood (2014, p. 86) states that at this stage individuals “struggle [with] the acceptance of impending death and the fact that our lives are primarily historical, rather than in the future.” When the elderly look back on their lives and realize that they lived their life with purpose, they are filled with a sense of integrity. On the other hand, individuals who fail to view their life in this positive light tend to fall into despair.
Problem solving is when there is a problem or issue that needs to be resolved. When there is a problem with a patient the nursing staff needs to try and resolve it to make all parties satisfied. When trying to solve a problem, keep in mind about the core attribute safeguarding patients autonomy. In this core attribute, it involves the patient wanting to be involved in their health care plan, as well as make their own decisions as long as they are competent. (Bu & Jezewski, 2006) Once the problem is identified the nursing staff along with the patient, need to form a plan or possible goals that will help solve the problem. There will be many problems that can’t be complete...
According to Eric Erikson, there are eight different social stages a person must go through as they mature. Each stage has a positive characteristic and a negative characteristic. If positive characteristics are fulfilled then their future will look good. So to what extent can the lack of reinforcement to the positive characteristics of Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development effect you? The effects can be quite horrifying. Especially if all of the stages the only characteristics fulfilled are the negative aspects.
Claireece Precious Jones is currently experiencing the adolescent stage of her development and is transitioning into adulthood. Her experience as a teenage mother, growing up in poverty, and history of abuse all have implications for the development of her identity, cognitive functioning, and biological factors. We will focus on Erikson’s Psychosocial Stage for Adolescents to gage the evolution of Precious’s growth, while addressing the person in environmental theory that also attributes to the biopsychosocial context in which a young person develops.
Conflict has been an issue for man since the dawn of civilization. In today’s fast paced world conflict, especially in the workplace, is a frequent occurrence. When that workplace is a health care environment where lives are at stake, emotions run high and collaboration with many different disciplines is required conflict often becomes a prevalent part of everyday life. Conflicts in the workplace can lead to reduced morale, lowered productivity resulting in decreased patient care and can cause large scale confrontations (Whitworth 2008). In the field of nursing whether a conflict is with a peer, supervisor, physician, or a patient and their family, conflict management is a necessary skill.
Erik Erikson developed eight psychosocial stages that occur through life. These stages help parents of younger children understand what the child is thinking and why they are acting the way that they do. For a person to become a well-rounded adult they need to succeed in each level. This essay will discuss the first six stages into young adulthood.
Psychosocial development is development on a social realm. Psychosocial development is how one develops their mind, maturity level, and emotions over the course of one’s life. The rate of development depends on different factors such as biological processes as well as environmental factors. A man named Erik Erikson who was a psychoanalyst who believed that early childhood successes and failures were responsible for influencing later developmental stages developed this theory. Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development is based around the theory that social experience has an impact over an entire lifespan. There are eight stages developmental stages of development in the psychosocial theory and I will briefly examine all eight stages in this
Erikson has influenced the way psychologists view the importance of identity during adolescents, enhancing, and slightly altering the ideas originally laid out by Freud. Using Freud’s broader ideas and theories, Erickson was able to develop a more continuing developmental timeline of a person’s life. (Schultz and Schultz, 2012, p.164) Agreeing on ideas such as human instinct and basic development was how Erickson was able to feed off Freud’s thoughts in light on constructing his own. Erickson's eight stages of psychosocial development uniquely exhibit aspects of our social organization. Each displays the complexity of social development from birth to death in the domains of learning, thinking and adaptive behaviour.... ...
Psychoanalyst Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development explains how the human identity develops and evolves in eight stages from birth to death. Each one occurs in a predetermined order; the current stage builds upon the previous one and lays the groundwork for future stages (Wikimedia). Each stage has a specific “crisis” or conflict, a turning point in the individual’s life which must be reconciled before moving on to the next. If the conflict is handled well, the individual gains “ego strength” in the form of a corresponding virtue. If the conflict is handled poorly, the individual not only fails to develop that virtue, but his/her ability to complete later stages is hindered resulting in diminished “ego quality” or psychosocial health (Erikson, 188-225).
This assignment’s main focus will be centred on Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, which consists of eight stages however only the fifth stage ‘identity versus role confusion’ will be discussed. Aspects such as identity crises, exploration of autonomy whilst developing a sense of self, factors that may contribute to identity formation as well as the successful/unsuccessful resolution of this particular stage will be discussed thoroughly. Erikson’s theory was also expanded by James Marcia, who identified certain identity statuses. The discussion will then progress to the psychosocial development of a case study based on Anna Monroe in connection to the difficulties she faced, such as gender, sexuality, peer pressure,
