Answer to Question 2

Freud's theory considers the id to be the primary focus of development. The id, the instinctual needs, requires gratification which the ego must supervise. During the psychosexual stages, fixation may occur if gratification is either over- or under-filled. Once fixation has occurred, it is difficult or impossible to repair. The psychosexual stages begin at birth and end during adolescence. Erikson's theory considers the ego to be the primary focus of development. During the psychosocial stages, social conflicts must be resolved to have optimal development, although revisiting these conflicts later is possible. The psychosocial stages cover birth through late adulthood.
