The purpose of this discussion post is to examine one stage from Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages including the associated virtue and the positive and negative forerunners of identity formation. Additionally, the discussion post will explain the purpose of incorporating the evaluation of developmental vulnerabilities within a holistic, psychosocial assessment and treatment plan.
Erikson’s first stage of psychosocial development is Trust vs. Mistrust and occurs during infancy from birth to approximately 18 months of age (Boland et al., 2022). The associated virtue of this stage is hope. Orenstein & Lewis (2022) note that when development during this time maladaptive, the virtue becomes withdrawal. The associated positive and negative forerunners of identity are mutual recognition vs. autistic isolation. Muuss (1988) relays Erikson’s theory describing mutual recognition as synonymous with mutual trustworthiness, highlighting the importance of developing a sense of security between the infant and caregiver. The negative forerunner, autistic isolations, describes the withdrawal of the infant from that sense of security.
These developmental vulnerabilities that occur from maladaptive development of hope and trust are related to psychopathology including psychosis, addiction, and depression (Boland et al., 2022). The concept of trust and hope during this time builds the foundation for the infant understanding that their needs will be met instilling trust not only in the caregiver, but also hardwiring the infant to have confidence and build an identity based on that foundation creating confidence, trust , and hope. Muuss (1988) expand on these psychopathologies noting that the sense of isolation differentiates the patient from feeling the same as others and lead to the “withdrawal and regression characteristic†in the development of schizophrenia (Boland et al., 2022, p. 1074). These same thoughts and feelings can lead to feelings of low self-worth, emptiness, and depression and Erickson’s theory occurs during Freud’s the oral stage related to the oral incorporation of the development of addictions (Boland et al., 2022, Muuss, 1988, and Orenstein & Lewis, 2022) . By completing a holistic psychosocial assessment including a developmental history and timeline these psychopathologies can be differentiated in relation to the information gathered and presenting symptoms. This helps to create a patient centered treatment plan with appropriate pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions.
