These five life stages (basic trust versus mistrust, autonomy versus shame and doubt, identity versus identity confusion, and generativity versus stagnation) are associated with Erikson's psychosocial theory, which outlines eight stages of human development. Piaget's cognitive-developmental theory focuses on cognitive development in children, Freud's psychosexual theory focuses on unconscious conflicts and sexuality, Helms's White Racial Identity model focuses on racial identity development, and Wubbolding's WDEP model is a counseling model that focuses on problem-solving and decision-making.
