What are the differences between the theories of Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson?
Freud believed that behavior is motivated by a desire to satisfy biological needs and the release of tension, expressed through the oral, anal, and genital body zones during the course of personality development and throughout the teen years. Erikson expanded Freud’s ideas beyond adolescence, proposing that psychosocial development is a series of conflicts that can have favorable or unfavorable outcomes.
