Erikson each promoted a set of developmental stages that are sequential and invariant, which means that every person must accomplish each stage in sequence. Each of these theorists began their
stages at birth; Freuds ends age 18; Eriksons continues until death. Freud is called the father of psychoanalysis. Freuds five psychosexual phases are: oral (1-12 months); anal (13-24 months); phallic
(25 months to 6 years); latency (6 - 11 years); genital (11 to 18 years) (ETR Associates, 2006). Eriksons eight psychosocial stages are: Infancy (birth to 1 year); Toddler

to the conscious (Boeree, 2000). Freud proposed all of our motivations are hidden in the unconscious mind (Boeree, 2000). These may be available to the conscious but only in a
