1. Erikson's theory of the psychosocial developmental stages and their influence on personality development has been called both " epigenetic psychosexual stages" and "neo-Adlerian." Considering that Adler and Freud were not cooperative in their theories (in fact, they were at odds), Explain Briefly how Erikson's theory can be associated with either. How can this be? Is Erikson's theory relevant today? Why or why not? Do you have any other insights or thoughts?

2. Using either Sullivan's or Erikson's developmental stages (or both), which transition between sets is the most challenging for females? For males? What can be done to create a healthier change? Do you have any other insights or thoughts?
