LCSW/LMSW Prep Erikson's 8 Stages of Development

Today I review Erikson's 8 Stages of Development
Trust vs. Mistrust
Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
Initiative vs Guilt
Industry vs. Inferiority
Identity vs. Role Confusion
Initimacy vs. Isolation
Generavity vs. Stagnation
Ego Integrity vs. Despair
Provide two acronyms to remember the stages easily.
The ASWB Clinical Exam, or the Association of Social Work Boards Clinical Exam, is a test that was made to determine whether or not an individual's level of knowledge of social work in a clinical setting is sufficient. You will have four hours to complete 170 multiple choice questions, including 20 pre-test questions, that test your knowledge in Human Behavior, Diversity Issues, Diagnosis and Assessment, Psychotherapy, Communication, Therapeutic Relationships, Professional Ethics, Clinical Supervision, Practice Evaluation, Service Delivery, and Clinical Practice and Management. To register, you must have at least a Master's degree from a social work program, and two years of clinical social work experience.

Thanks, Phil. All I have to do now is remember--I am 73, and taking the CA exam after being licensed in NY State for over 18 years! The NASW has done nothing to have the States except each other's licenses like doctors, and nurses. Social workers are the bottom feeders. More money going to a license, and exams fees.

[@DK-tm7er]

This is very sad. Whats the need for NASW if it cannot advocate for its professionals.......

[@judithhorowitz2393]

All they care about are their Liberal, Left Wing Political policies. They do nothing for the social workers who slave every day to help people, at the lowest rates possible for a professional with a Master's degree and licensing. Why not advocate for social workers who move from State to State like I did? It's stupid to through the process again. Time, and money is what is cost.

This is awesome..... I wish that I had stumbled across this much sooner. You’re amazing. Thanks a million!

[@loveemeprenee]

Hi Phil, I watched nearly all of your practice question videos and those similar to this one. I was able to gain so much about how to strategize answering application questions. I paid close attention to your answer rationales in addition to the Apgar book. I followed your advice to do what works for me and passed the first time. I am so thankful for your free content. You were extremely helpful…THANK YOU!

Hi, I came across some discrepancies in the ages for Erikson’s 8 stages of development. For example, I’ve read that Stage 3 is from ages 3-5 and so forth. Do you know if the age categories have been updated since this video has been made? Or which ones are correct?

[@gabrielgervias1097]

Thanks for video.

[@karlitasvibez]

What’s the acronym you use for the other questions ???

[@LOVEandPEACE786]

What is an example of what could happen during "initiative vs guilt" that would cause a kid to have failure in this stage?

On the exam, does anyone know if the ages are given or not?

[@jeanmarcbeaubrun5402]

I seen online the age range for Initiative Vs. Guilt is 3 to 5 not 3 to 6 and for Industry Vs. Inferiority the age range is 5 to 12 not 6 to 12.

[@raspberriessummer9074]

Jean Marc Beaubrun in my Apgar's ASWB Master's Exam Guide, Initiative vs Guilt is written to be around 3 to 6 and Industry vs. Inferiority is from age 6 to puberty.

I would like to join your group tutoring sessions and if need be one on one tutoring.

[@eliztx126]

The information is important for the exam, but the delivery in this video was too monotone and dull that I couldn't bear to watch the whole video. And the acronyms were too blah to remember- I'd rather create my own phrases. I think this could be really helpful if the delivery was at least a little bit exciting and not sounding like you're bored by your own info. I watched another video to compare and you're much more engaging in that one, but this video just wasn't the best delivery.

[@PhilintheGaps]

I appreciate the feedback. This video is around 2yrs ago and I was definitely more nervous back then :)

[@nancyl.martinez7156]

Wow, that was a little harsh! Phil is awesome! I have learned so much from him. Sometimes we just need to extend grace if we are disappointed and own that as our opinion or perspective. It’s best to just be thankful Phil does this for us, and EVERY video is helpful.

[@lorealis]

This would be much easier to follow if you could type/spell better. I'm so distracted by the back-spacing and fixing words that it's hard to follow the content.

[@PhilintheGaps]

I appreciate the feedback. This was one of my first videos, so I did not have a lot of confidence and/or experience doing videos at the time.
