Imagine that you are a psychotherapist. A new client comes to you. First, explain the nature of the information that you would obtain from your new client if you are a Freudian psychoanalyst
Second, explain the nature of
the information that you would obtain from your client if you are an Eriksonian psychoanalyst.
What will be an ideal response
In some ways the two approaches can be similar. Both would want to learn about the client's
upbringing and his or her relationship with both parents. The approaches would differ in that the
Freudian therapist would ask very specific questions about breastfeeding, toilet training, etc.,
focusing on sexual urges and desires. The Eriksonian analyst would be more interested in general
social interactions between the child and caregivers, teachers, and siblings. The Ericksonian analyst
would focus on specific needs being met and contributors to healthy social interactions.
