Summary
Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines eight stages, each characterized by a crisis that influences personality growth throughout life. Key themes include trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity. Successful navigation of these stages fosters virtues, while failure may lead to negative outcomes affecting self-esteem and relationships.
