Question 2

Compare and contrast Erikson's concept of ego psychology with Freud's psychoanalytic theory.

Accepted Answer

In general terms, Erikson made three additions to Freudian theory: (1) he added four later stages to Freud's oral, anal, phallic, and latency stages; (2) he gathered data from historical and cultural sources, thus relying more on social factors than on biological factors; and (3) he emphasized the ego over the id.
Erikson saw the ego as being capable of adapting to changes throughout the life cycle.He also identified three aspects of the ego: (1) the body ego, (2) the ego ideal, and (3) ego identity.
