    Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy introduces the idea that people are not disturbed by things, but rather the view the person takes as well as what they tell themselves. He believed that emotions, thoughts, and behavior were all integrated; that it did not matter which came first because they were interactive. This theory can teach me about myself. I have started to pay attention to what I truly believe in addition to what I am telling myself about certain situations. I have found that I am pessimistic in my thoughts; therefore my emotions and behaviors are also negative. For example, this semester I have been stressed with my three classes while working full time hours. I continue to believe that I have too much on my plate…

    Erik Erikson is a German psychologist who studied under Freud and later disagreed Freud’s theory. Before Erik was born, his father had abandoned his mother which caused some identity problems for him that he was able to resolve later on in life. In addition, the reason for his theory mainly has to do with his father not being around. In refining Freud’s theory, Erikson assumed that personality developed in eight stages which started from infancy and ending with old age. He believed that each stage could have a positive or negative outcome, and positive outcomes at one stage make the crisis in the other stage easier to understand and solve. One of the unique things about Eric Erikson is that he researched and wrote until he was over 90, and with that his theory is still considered applicable. In addition he is actually the only theorists who researched about young, middle and older adulthood. An individual can agree more with Eric Erikson’s theory than Freud’s theory. Even though Freud had once thought Eric Erikson’s, he later became independent and researched more about young, middle and older adulthood. Eric Erikson’s theory is more realistic.…
