Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary, but may include two of the following: (1) Freud has fewer stages than Erikson, and
his stages end at adolescence, whereas Erikson's continue through adulthood; (2) Freud was more
concerned with sexual impulses, whereas Erikson was more concerned with family and social
interactions; (3) Freud considered his stages a time of conflict, whereas Erikson describes his as
challenges or crises.

Answer to Question 2

Oral (birth to 1 year), anal (1 to 3 years), phallic (3 to 6 years), latency (6 to 11 years), and genital
(adolescence). See page 39, Table 2.1, for a description of what occurs during each stage.
