Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
In accordance with Erikson's theory, the middle-aged adult client is involved in the process of expanding one's personal and social involvement. Middle-aged adults should be able to see be-yond their needs and accomplishments to the needs of society. Developing a sense of identity is in accordance with Erikson's identity versus role confusion (puberty) stage of development. Searching for meaning in life is in accordance with Erikson's integrity versus despair (old age) stage of development. Enhancing one's capability to love others is in accordance with Erikson's intimacy versus isolation (young adult) stage of development.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
According to Freud, disruption in the physical or emotional availability of the parent for the newborn (e.g., undergoing surgery) will affect the oral stage of development; the anal stage is from 12 to 18 months to 3 years, when the child is toilet-training; the phallic stage is from 3 to 6 years of age, when the child becomes interested in the genital organs; and the latent stage is from 6 to 12 years, when the child represses sexual urges and channels them into productive activities that are socially acceptable.
