Summary Of Hank's Psychosocial Development

822 Words4 Pages

Hank, or “Hankerdoodle” as l nicknamed him, is my nephew. Hank just turned three years old at the beginning of March. Hank is living in my parent’s home with his Mom and Dad. Hank’s Mom and Dad have been separated for a few months but recently started living together again. Hank’s mom is a marriage and family therapist and Hank’s Dad is a screenprint artist. I usually play with Hank at least once a week, but it was enjoyable to set aside time to really observe him and his development. While observing Hank I noticed that he can hop, run, and jump a few inches on the trampoline and on steady ground. This is all consistent with what the book considers on track in his gross motor skills. Hank also is showing wonderful fine motor skills, Hank no longer uses the palmar grasp and uses the pincer grasp with precision when …show more content…

Hank wakes up around 8:00 and goes to bed around 6:00. Hank has trouble falling asleep and usually needs his Mom or Dad to stay with him until he is asleep. Hank is getting 10 hours of sleep a night, which is a little less than the recommended 11-13 hours.

Hank also just entered into the initiative vs guilt stage, Hank is starting to ask more questions about the things around him and is starting to interact more with others around him. It seems that Hank is in line with Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development. According to Freud, Hank is in the anal stage. Hank is just beginning to be potty trained. Hank has a fixation on potty talk. Some of my questions were answered with potty talk or silly words that Hank thought were quite amusing. According to Freud this would be pretty consistent and make

    H.Gs emotional development has come to complete stop. During my visit I noted that HG sat very close to his grandmother, followed her visually as she stood up to go to kitchen and became visibly anxious when she left the room. Analyzing H.G’s behavior and development through Erikson’s Stages of Development one will note that H.G was not able to “reach self-control without loss of self-esteem” nor does he have the ability to cooperate and to express himself properly. In early childhood he was not able to “effectively learn the degree to which assertiveness and purpose influence the environment.”

For example, “He was the NFL’s career leader in rushing yards(16,726), rushing touchdowns(110) and total yards gained (21,264)”(U.S. History In Context).

    Greenberg (1986) believes Freud’s case studies do not place enough stress on revealing the outcome of the treatment and that Freud’s aim was more to illustrate his theoretical points (p.240). In cases, Greenberg asserts that many of the presented cases would not even be considered acceptable examples of psychoanalysis and, in short, that virtually all of the cases studies had basic shortcomings (p.240). Furthermore, many other powerful criticisms about Freud inaccurate and subsequently flawed evidence have been published. These critics contend that Freud’s evidence is flawed due to the lack of an experiment, the lack of a control group, and the lack of observations that went unrecorded (Colby, 1960, p.54).
