Abstract

This paper interprets and compares two major psychoanalytic theories of personality development, namely, Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory and Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory. As a growing number of developmental psychologists are teaching courses and doing research that cover the entire life span rather than just childhood and/or adolescence, Erikson's eight ages of man as interpreted in this paper may be of special interest to Chinese students of education and psychology in Hong Kong and elsewhere.
