Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The development of the psyche is greatly important for an individual and society as it embraces the emotional, cognitive and behavioural changes in them throughout their lifetime. It is the psychological development that helps an individual to attain self-realization and enhance a better well-being in society. Erikson’s theory outlines the crucial tasks and conflicts an individual faces and suggests solutions to resolve them in a way that promotes tranquil mental health. This study on the character Frank Mackey from the novel Faithful Place by Tana French examines the quandary and its remedy from childhood to adulthood through the stages of the psychosocial developmental theory by Erik Erikson.
