ADOLESCENTS
A child derives pleasure from oral activities, such as sucking and tasting. Successful
fulfillment of the childs feeding needs and proper weaning may result in the
establishment of trust. Too much or too little gratification can bring about an oral
fixation for the adult individual. This is represented by a preoccupation with oral
activities such as drinking alcohol, smoking, over eating, or nail biting.
The main source of gratification at this stage is the ability to control bladder
movement and the elimination or retention of feces. A positive and appropriate
experience revolving around potty training can encourage competence, creativity and
productivity in individuals. Contrarily, anal fixations can translate into obsession with
perfection, extreme cleanliness, and control or the opposite which is messiness and
disorganization in adulthood.
At this Freud psychosexual stage, the focus of pleasure is the genitals. Boys start to
perceive their father as rivals for their mothers affections, while girls feel similarly
towards their mother. Fear of punishment can lead to repression of feelings felt toward
the opposite sex parent. Fixation at this stage may bring about sexual deviancy or
weak sexual identity.
At this stage, sexual urges are usually repressed and the individual spends most of
his/her time interacting with same sex peers, engaging in hobbies and acquiring skills.
The focus at this Freud psychosexual stage is on the sexual urges that are reawakened
and are directed toward opposite sex peers, with genitals as the primary source of
pleasure. Individuals who completed the earlier stages successfully become well-
adjusted, caring and secure individuals.
Erikson's Stage Of Psychosocial Development
The trust versus mistrust stage is the first stage of psychologist Erik Eriksons theory
of psychosocial development, which occurs between birth and approximately 18
months of age. According to Erikson, the trust versus mistrust stage is the most
important period in a persons life because it shapes our view of the world, as well as
our personalities.1 Erikson's psychosocial development theory has seven other stages
that span throughout a person's lifetime
Autonomy versus shame and doubt is the second stage of Erik Erikson’s stages
of psychosocial development. This stage occurs between the ages of 18 months to
around age 2 or 3 years. According to Erikson, children at this stage are focused on
developing a greater sense of self-control.
Initiative versus guilt is the third stage of Erik Eriksons theory of psychosocial
development. This stage occurs during the preschool years, between the ages of 3 and
5. During the initiative versus guilt stage, children begin to assert their power and
control over the world through directing play and other social interaction.
Industry versus inferiority is the fourth stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial
development, which happens after the third stage of initiative versus guilt. The stage
occurs during childhood between the ages of approximately six and eleven.
Identity versus diffusion is the fifth stage of ego according to psychologist Erik
Erikson'stheory of psychosocial development. This stage occurs during adolescence
between the ages of approximately 12 and 18. During this stage, adolescents explore
their independence and develop a sense of self.
The sixth stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This stage
takes place during young adulthood between the ages of approximately 19 and 40.
During this period, the major conflict centers on forming intimate, loving
relationships with other people. Success at this stage leads to fulfilling relationships.
Failure, on the other hand, can result in feelings of loneliness and Isolation.
Generativity versus stagnation is the seventh of eight stages of Erik Eriksons theory
of psychosocial development. This stage takes place during middle adulthood between
the ages of approximately 40 and 65.
Integrity versus despair is the eighth and final stage of Erik Eriksonstage theory
of psychosocial development. This stage begins at approximately age 65 and ends at
death. Psychologists, counselors, and nurses today use the concepts of Erikson's
stages when providing care for aging patients.
Moral Development
If we are to related the effectiveness with other people in our environment, we must
make judgments about what is right and what is wrong. These judgments change with
age.
1. Moral of constrait
Moral realism
Define what is right and what is wrong and come from external authority.
2. Morality of cooperation
Rules should be obeyed not just because some "authority" has established
them, but because they guard against violation of the rights of others.
Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Reasoning
Level I.
Level II.
Level III.
Typified by judgments that recognize the societal need for mutual agreement
and the application of consistent principles in judgments.
Through careful thought and reflection, the postconventional thinker arrives at
a self-determined set of principles or morality.
Involves a growing realization that in order to care for others, one must also
take care of oneself.
The second transition is from the self-care motive to the motives of the first
transition. From goodness to truth
The ethnic of this is the equality of self and others. It is wrong to serve oneself
at the expense of others.
The spirit of cooperatiob and the skills to realize that spirit are essential to
adult living. Cooperative learning, student learning from and with each other,
can be fostered in classroom at any grade level.
The teacher reported thay children enjoyed the active nature of the exercise
and the active nature of the interaction with their partners.
Acknowledgements allowed students to value helpfulness and thoughtfulness.
It also gave students practice in delivering and receiving compliments.
3. Moral Reflection
b.) Subjects give an opportunity to observe aggressive models later reproduced a good
deal of physical and verbal aggression ( as well as non-aggressive responses )
substantially identical with that of the model. In contrast, Subjects who were exposed
to non-aggressive models and those who had no previous exposure to any models
only rarely performed such responses.
d.) the finding that subjects exposed to the quiet models were more inhibited and
unresponsive than subjects in the aggressive condition, suggets that exposure to
inhibited models not only decreases the probability of accurrence of aggressive
behavior but also restricts the range of behavior emmitted by the subjects.
Half the experimental subjects were exposed to aggressive models and half were
subdued and non-aggressive in their behavior. These groups were further subdivided
into male and female subjects. Half the subjects in the aggressive and non-aggressive
conditions observed same-sex models, while the remaining subjects in each group
viewed models of the opposite sex. The control group had no prior exposure to the
adult models and was tested only in the generalization situation.

STAGES OF ADOLESCENCE
These body changes can inspire curiosity and anxiety in some-especially if they do
not know what to expect or what is normal
At this age, many teens become interested in romantic and sexual relationships.
Many middle adolescents have more arguments with their parents as they struggle
for more independence
The brain continues to change and mature in this stage, but there are still many
differences in how a normal middle adolescent thinks compared to an adult
Physical Development:
�Entering puberty heralds the physical changes of adolescence: a growth spurt and
sexual maturation
�Puberty and Sexual Development
�Physical Appearance and Body Image
�Physical Activity and Weight
Cognitive Development:
The changes in how adolescents think, reason, and understand can be even more
dramatic than their obvious physical changes. Cognitive competence includes such
things as the ability to reason effectively, problem solve, think abstractly and reflect,
and plan for the future.
Emotional Development:
Social Development:
PARENTING STYLE
�They use a strict discipline style with little negotiation possible. Punishment is
common.
�Communication is mostly one way: from parent to child. Rules usually are not
explained.
Mostly let their children do what they want, and offer limited guidance or direction.
They are more like friends than parents.
�Their discipline style is the opposite of strict. They have limited or no rules and
mostly let children figure problems out on their own.
�Communication is open but these parents let children decide for themselves rather
than giving direction.

Identity
Formulation of identity to the Freudian theory of the "i'd," the instinctual force
driving man from within and the "groups ego" of the society which influences
and controls him; and which he conceptualizes as a model of his existence.
The ego, according to Erikson, is one of the three indispensable and ceaseless
processes by which man’s existence become remain continuous in time and
organized in form. This task is possible through:
Identity is founded on the epigenetic principle which Erikson derived from the growth
of organisms in the utero. This principle states that anything grows has a ground plan,
and that out of this ground plan the parts arise, each part having it's time of formation
and maturity, until all parts have arisen to form a functioning whole. This is true for
fetal development where each part of the organism has it's critical time of ascendance
or danger of defect. In the presentation of an epigenetic diagram, Erikson employed
Freud's psychosexual stages. The diagram shown above bridges the theory of infantile
sexuality and the child's physical and social growth.
(1) that each item of vital personality is systematically related to all others, and that
they all depend on the proper development in the proper sequence of each item; and
(2) that each item exists in some form before "it's" decisive and critical time normally
arrives.
Infancy and Basic Trust
The Development of a sense of basic trust in infancy, the first stage in the
psychosexual life of an individual and the cornerstone to his vital personality is where
the formation of identity starts. When a child is born, he cuts his symbiotic
relationship from his mother and depends only on his oral faculties for existence. In
the same way, maternal instinct and physical body component are prepared to meet
the child's need. When such need as feeding suffers a severe estrangement, the
individual withdraws unto himself and with others such as the mother. Such
withdrawal is displayed by refusing food and comfort and becoming oblivious to
companionship. In addition to the overwhelming need for food, the child also is able
to "take in" with his eyes whatever enters his visual field. Pyschotherapy must then
try to "reach" them with the specific intent of convincing them that they can trust
someone to trust them and that they can trust themselves.
Convinced that he is a person on his own, the child must now find out what kind of
person he may become. At this stage, he is deeply and exclusively "identified" with
his parents, who appear to him to be powerful and beautiful, although often quite
unreasonable, disagreeable and even dangerous.
This stage has three development which may bring about it's crisis:
1.) the child learns to move around more freely and more violently and therefore
established a wider and to him, unlimited radius of goals;
2.) His sense of language becomes perfected to the point where he understands and
can ask incessantly about innumerable things often hearing just enough to understand
them thoroughly; and
3.) both language and locomotion permit him to expand his imagination to so many
roles that he cannot avoid frightening himself has dreamed and thought up.
.
School Age and Task Identification
Children at this stage attach themselves to teachers and the parents of other
children and they want to watch and imitate people representing occupations
which they can grasp firemen, policemen, gardener, plumber, baker, teacher,
etc. They want to live at least a part of their lives near farins or safe streets
around busy people and around many other children of all ages so that they
can be observe and participate as their capacities and their initiative grows in
tentative
The child's need for parents is inherent in being human much more than
belonging to the group of mammals. "There is an even or fundamental bond
that all mammals at least have to respect- the bond between mother and child."
In the bonding process the first example is mating or "pair" bond. However,
where mating is brief and where the sexes part immediately after the mating
season, the association of the young with the mother remains important. This
is particularly true in all those species where the young are relatively
dependent.
The father- child bond, detailing how it functions and how it differs from the
bond between mother and child. What emerged from their work is the
beginning of a truly modern concept of paternity, one in which old
assumptions are overturned or cast in a radically different light, a unique
phenomenon with huge consequences for the emotional and intellectual
growth of children.
Start early - While involvement doesn't always equal intimacy, father' s who
immerse themselves in all aspects of parenting from birth on are more likely to be
closer to their children.
Creating "fathering space." - Schedule time and activities in which you take care
of your newborn entirely on your own. The traditional practice of deterring to
mother's as "experts" gives new father's few chances to hone their parenting skills,
bolster their confidence, and build solid bonds with baby.
• Mind the details - Tune in the children and avoid relying on mom to "read" what
the baby wants.
Be Realistic - Father' s who want to adopt a more hands- on approach than they
themselves experienced are often frustrated when kids don't immediately respond.
Parenting ideas may not just emanate from parents, whether old who had years of
experience or new couples who had just been married and blessed with one or two
children. Parenting views can be gleaned from how children react to their parents.
Several attempts have been done by different researches to collect opinions and
viewpoints from children who are receivers of parenting styles. The five year study
discussed in the book, Ask the Children, included children's perceptions and opinions
on many topics and issues: how much parents like their work; quality time vs.
quantity time; how mother's parent their children compared to father's; how much
children really know about the daily lives of parents at work; and other issues.
Mother's at Work
How do children react to mother's at work? How does work effect mothers
relationship about with their children? The findings from this study hold many
suprises. It was found that children learn more about the world of work from their
mothers than from their fathers. Children don't think parents like their work as much
as they really do. These perceptions came from what parents said:" I have to go to
work." Or " I wish I didn't have to leave." Now let us look at the results of the study
regarding the question: Is having a working mother good or bad for children? This
question was first fueled by studies of children in orphanages showing that children
seperated from their mothers for long periods and raised in environmentally depressed
conditions failed to thrive, evens thought they received adequate physical care.
Television
Violence on Television
Another question which most concerns adults is undoubtedly the moral effect children
of radio and television program Speaking generally, newscasts and informational
programs are morally sound, situation comedies and programs where games are
played are usually devoid of provocative ideas and morally insignificant; shows of
violence usually point out that " crime doesn't pay," at least during the last few
minutes, and dramas usually develop fairly obvious universal truths and are therefore
morally instructive to a degree. For the most part children are not being turned into
delinquents through the mass media, but values and tastes can be disorted by too
much and television and radio.
When young people's educational, social and moral well-being are a stake, society
cannot just be complacent. According to Slaby ( 1994). "Until recently, researchers
voices have been drown out in the din of denial and disinformation coming from
executives of the television and movie industries, whose self-serving defense if
violent programming has prevailed. TV industry spokepersons argue that violent
programs are mere reflection of the society, and that any effort to modify
programming would interfere with guarantees of freedom of the press. Others claim to
be giving the public "what they want" and take no responsibility for the effects on
viewers.
Some people may demonstrate behavior that seems abnormal in the sense that they
are far beyond expectation. There are three ways given by Plotnik such as
statistically, socially, and maladaptive ways as a gauge to decide whether a behavior
is abnormal. And yet Plotnik was of the opinion that neither of the three can
measures accurately describe abnormal behavior.
Statistical Frequency
This approach says that a behavior may be considered abnormal if it occurs rarely or
infrequently in relation to the behavior of the general population. And yet we would
not consider these individuals to necessarily have mental disorders.
Social Approach
The social norm approach says that a behavior is considered abnormal if it deviates
greatly from accepted social standard values, or norms. Thus defining abnormality
on the basis of social norms can be risky as social norms change over time.
Maladaptive Behavior
There are three major approaches in understanding and treating mental disorders:
medical, cognitive and behavioral approach by Plotnik.
The medical model approach views mental disorders as similar to physical diseases
with symptoms that can be diagnosed and treated. Psychiatrist use psychoactive
drugs to treat mental disorders.One advantage of medical model was the emphasis on
the role of genetic make-up and chemical balance in mental disorders.
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
It emphasizes that mental disorders result from deficits in cognitive processes, such
as thoughts and beliefs, and from behavioral problems such as deficits in skills and
abilities. It views mental disorders as resulting of maladaptive ways of thinking and
behaving. Accordingly, treatment for mental disorders involve changing a persons
maladaptive thoughts and behaviors.
Psychoanalytic Approach
It states that mental disorders are due to unconscious conflicts or problems with
unresolved conflicts at one or more of the psychosexual stage. Freud believed that
various personality problems could result from the unsuccessful resolutions of
conflicts during psychosexual stage in early childhood and may result to anxiety.
Psychological Test
It is given to persons who show symptoms of mental disorders. This include the self-
report questionnaire which is an objective personality test and consists of specific
statements or questions in which the person responds with specific answers; and, the
other is the projective tests such as the Rorschach inkblot test, which have not set
answers tub consists of ambiguous stimuli that a person interprets or makes up a
story about.
Clinical Interviews
This is one method of gathering information about a persons past and current
behavior, beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and problems. Some clinical interviews are
unstructured which means there are no set of questions. Other are structured which
means they follow a standard format of asking the same question.
Symptoms
This anxiety disorder includes both psychological and physical symptoms.
Psychological symptoms include being irritable, having difficulty concentrating, and
being unable to control ones worry which is out of proportion to the actual event.
While physical symptoms include restlessness, being easily fatigued, sweating,
flushing, insomnia, headache and muscle tension.
Treatment
Panic Disorder
This is characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks. People who suffer
from panic disorder have an increased risk of alcohol and other drug abuse, an
increased incidence of suicide, decreased social functioning, and decreased marital
happiness.
Symptoms
Treatment
Successful treatment may require 3-8 months of drug therapy and psychotherapy.
Phobia
This is an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense and irrational fear that is out
of all proportions to the possible danger of the object or situation. Because of this
intense fear, a person goes to great lengths to avoid the feared event. If the feared
event cannot be avoided, the person feels intense anxiety Social phobias are
characterized by irrational, marked, and continuous fear of performing in social.
situations.
The individuals fear that they will humiliate or embarrass themselves Specific
phobias formerly called simple phobias are characterized by marked and persistent
fears that are unreasonable and triggered by anticipation or of exposure to a specific
object or situation.
Disorders Mood
Is a prolonged and disturbed emotional state that affects almost all of a person s
thought and behavior. Major Depression is marked by at least two weeks of
continually being in a bad mood, having no interest in anything, and getting no
pleasure from activities. In addition, a person must have at least four of the following
symptoms: problem in eating, sleeping, thinking, concentrating, or making decision,
thinking about suicide, and feeling worthless or guilty.
Bipolar Disorder
On the other side when the opposite cycle begins after the ebbing out of the up part,
the person becomes depressive, miserable, tense and irritable. He hallucinates and
resorts to reckless behavior.
Bipolar disorder may lead to excessive sleep, overeating, and insomnia. It is likely
that this manic phase in bipolar depression result to emergency hospitalization and be
more dangerous. Bipolar disorder increases suicidal risks. It is difficult to diagnose.
For one, it can be covered up by alcoholism and drug abuse. Another worry is when
the person has actually other problems such as abuse, family conflict, and when
experiencing the normal ups and downs of growing up.
