PSYC 140 DEVELOPMENTAL (LIFESPAN) PSYCHOLOGY FINAL EXAM 100% CORRECT ANSWERS

What are two critiques, discussed in the module, regarding Freud’s psychosexual stages? Your Answer: Two Critiques discussed is that: Development does not only occur in infants and adolescents but that it is life long. When it comes to terms of aging, maturation and growth it is evident that development occurs through the whole life of the individual but Freud's psychosexual stage only mentioned development through to adolescents. Also, development could be continuous or discontinuous but, Freud explained that development occurred according to the stages he laid out and that a stage had to be completed before moving on to another stage but in the real sense not all adolescents complete or get to the final stages as Freud described. Answers need to discuss the lack of a lifespan approach and a methodology that only relies on a clinical sample.
