A pediatric nurse works with the family of twins at designated stages in their lives to help the parents anticipate and move through the periods of disequilibrium. What is the model of child development that focuses on disruptive periods of development?
A.
Bowlby's attachment theory of development
B.
Brazelton's touchpoints model of development
C.
Erikson's stages of development
D.
Freud's stages of psychosexual development
ANS: B
Brazelton described touchpoints as "periods during the first 3 years of life during which children's spurts in development resulted in pronounced disruption in the family system." The touchpoints perspective assumes, among other things, that parents know their children better than they know anyone else, and with that in mind, the nurse works with the family at the various touchpoints to help them anticipate and move through the periods of disequilibrium. Bowlby focuses on the impact of separation from mothers seen in infants. Erickson's theory focuses on the influence of social interaction on development. Freud's theory regards the impact of psychosexual instincts as most important in development.
