Eight Stages: From Infancy to Old Age

by Shannon Lloyd

Erikson's stages of psychosocial development is a comprehensive psychoanalytic theory that identifies a series of eight stages that a healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late adulthood. He argued that the social experience was valuable throughout our life to each stage that can be recognizable by a conflict specifically as we encounter between the psychological needs and the surroundings of the social environment. The two conflicting forces each have a psychosocial crisis which characterizes the eight stages. If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces, they emerge from the stage with the corresponding virtue.

These mixes use an eclectical musical approach of various artists with my own spoken word performances and found audio to represent an entire life's trajectory musically!
