NUR112 Chapter 11 Development Theories
Briefly summarize Gesell's theory of development.
Gesell's theory of development is that although each child's pattern of growth is unique, this pattern is directed by gene
activity; the pattern of maturation follows a fixed developmental sequence.
Briefly summarize theories of psychoanalytic/psychosocial theory.
The theory explains development as primarily unconscious and influenced by emotion. These unconscious conflicts
influence development through universal stages experienced by all individuals.
Explain the five stages of Freud's psychoanalytic model of personal development.
Stage 1: Oral
Stage 2: Anal
Stage 3: Phallic
Stage 4: Latency
Stage 5: Genital
Stage 1: Oral Sucking and oral satisfaction are not only vital to life but also pleasurable.
Stage 2: Anal Children become increasing aware of the pleasurable sensations of this body region with interest in the
products of their effort.
Stage 3: Phallic The genital organs become the focus of pleasure.
Stage 4: Latency Sexual urges are repressed and channeled into productive activities that are socially acceptable.
, Stage 5: Genital Earlier sexual urges reawaken and are directed to an individual outside the family circle.
