- Human Growth and Development Theories
Let's consider the following scenario:
Three-year-old Timmy has started making his own breakfast of cereal each morning, cereal often ends up on the kitchen floor and he regularly spills the milk when he's pouring it into the bowl, when his mother tries to make cereal for him Timmy becomes angry and he shouts at her: "No, I can do it". Why is Timmy behaving this way, as Timmy learned this behavior or are his actions related to his age family relationships or personality?
Questions like these are what developmental psychologists try to answer, they seek to understand and explain the behavior that occurs throughout our lives.
A number of different theories have been developed in an attempt to explain the various aspects of human growth, developmental theories provide a set of guiding principles and concepts that describe and explain human development by better understanding how and why people change and grow we can help this growth take place in positive ways.
One of the most influential theories of human development is psychoanalytic theory, many modern theories of counseling or psychotherapy are extensions modifications or reactions against psychoanalytic theory.
Psychoanalytic theory examines the factors that motivate behavior by focusing on the role of the unconscious. Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson are examples of theorists who support this approach, Freud was a pioneer with his psychoanalytic theory of personality and his psychosexual development Theory, Erikson expanded Freud's theories in many ways and developed his own theory of psychosocial development.
Psychoanalytic theories strength lies in its awareness of unconscious motivation and the importance of early experiences on development, unfortunately the ideas involved are difficult to test because of this, psychoanalytic theory does not have substantial research available to support its ideas.
Remember Timmy, psychoanalytic theory might explain his behavior by saying that he's seeking independence and he's acting an age-appropriate way for the developmental stage that he is experiencing, as a reaction to the lack of empirical evidence to support the claims of psychoanalytic theory psychologists became increasingly interested in developing a more scientific approach.
In order to do this some researchers began to study only those things that can be measured and quantified.
