He experienced normal development during the transitions of the six stages. When as an infant, he developed trust instead of mistrust, which allowed for autonomy rather than shame or doubt as a toddler (Erikson, 1990) As part of his father's service in the Marine Corps, the family moved twice during his first two years of life
His father suffered from undiagnosed PTSD for several years until he sought help. All of these scenarios could negatively affect the biopsychosocial development of a child (Engel, 2012) The family affected by the PTSD, but received assistance as the family became aware of the problem and the help available (Hoge, Castro, & Eaton, 2012,-Page 5-1)
When as an infant, he developed trust instead of mistrust, which allowed for autonomy rather than shame or doubt as a toddler (Erikson, 1990) As part of his father's service in the Marine Corps, the family moved twice during his first two years of life.
