Just as Freud used stages of psychosexual development to ground his model of psychoanalysis, it is possible to do the same with Erik Erikson's stages of development with regards to a model of psychodynamic psychotherapy. This paper proposes an eight-stage model of psychodynamic psychotherapy linked to Erik Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development. Various suggestions are offered. One such suggestion is that as each of Erikson's developmental stages is triggered by a crisis, in therapy it is triggered by the client's search. The resolution of the search often leads to the development of another search, which implies that the therapy process comprises a series of searches. This idea of a series of searches and resolutions leads to the understanding that identity is developmental and therapy is a space in which a new sense of identity may emerge. The notion of hope is linked to Erikson's stage of Basic Trust and the proposed model of therapy views hope and trust as essential for the therapy process. Two clinical vignettes are offered to illustrate these ideas.
Psychotherapy can be approached as an eight-stage process and linked to Erikson's eight stages model of development. Psychotherapy may be viewed as a series of searches and thus as a developmental stage resolution process, which leads to the understanding that identity is ongoing throughout the life span.
就像弗洛伊德（Freud）用性心理发展阶段来为他的精神分析模型奠定基础一样，我们也可以用埃里克·埃里克森（Erik Erikson）的发展阶段来为动力心理治疗模型做同样的事情。本文提出了一个与埃里克·埃里克森（Erik Erikson）的八个心理社会发展阶段相关的动力心理治疗的八阶段模型。本文提出了各种建议。其中一个建议是，由于埃里克森（Erikson）的每个发展阶段都是由危机引发的，因此在治疗中，它是由客户的搜索引发的。搜索的解决通常会导致另一个搜索的产生，这意味着治疗过程包括一系列的搜索。这种一系列搜索和解决的想法表明，身份是发展性的，治疗是一个可能出现新身份意识的空间。希望的概念与埃里克森（Erikson）的基本信任阶段有关，所提出的治疗模式将希望和信任视为治疗过程的基本要素。本文提供了两个临床案例来说明这些想法。
心理治疗可以被看作是一个八阶段的过程，并与埃里克森（Erikson）的八个发展阶段模型联系起来。心理治疗可以被看作是一系列的搜索，因此可以看作是一个发展阶段解决过程，这使得人们理解到身份在整个生命周期中是持续存在的。
