Here the young person will recycle through all the previous stages again, only this time they go at twice the speed. So there will be a new period of 'being' aged 13, when they will spend time resting, eating and thinking about sex. This is followed by a further period of 'doing' where our young person has the opportunity to re-explore the world with a better understanding of her environment. At about 14 our developing adult revisits the stage of 'thinking'. Here previous decisions are reviewed and revised. So in the ensuing stage of 'identity' the early decision about who we will be are updated in order to fit in with the grownup world we now know better. This is followed by a further period of 'skill' development. In a way making sense of and structuring the world as we experience it, so as to prepare for our 'friendly divorce' from our carers.

texture of a man’s or woman’s body, is the pattern of all the
process of our lives.”
Havelock Ellis

4. Cycles of development
Stage6
• Stage : Regeneration .
• Duration : 12 – 18 years.
• Activity - Here the young person will
recycle through all the previous stages
again, only this time they go at twice
the speed. So there will be a new
period of 'being' aged 13, when they
will spend time resting, eating and
thinking about sex. This is followed by a
further period of 'doing' where our
young person has the opportunity to
re-explore the world with a better
understanding of her environment. At
about 14 our developing adult revisits
the stage of 'thinking'. Here previous
decisions are reviewed and revised. So
in the ensuing stage of 'identity' the
early decision about who we will be are
updated in order to fit in with the
grownup world we now know better.
This is followed by a further period of
'skill' development. In a way making
sense of and structuring the world as
we experience it, so as to prepare for
our 'friendly divorce' from our carers.

6. Cycles of development
Stage 6
Compromise Recycling After eighteen years, Stage
6 is significant
Failure to achieve
this integration will
leave us somewhat
fragmented, as if
somehow we have
not quite finished
growing up
As grownups revisit Stage 6 we
explore many of the same
themes: sex and its importance
and integration into our
lives, how our relationships fit
with and support our adult
identities and values, our
personal philosophies and
positions, and how we relate to
the world. We may also have
higher sleep needs, explore
music and drugs, experiment
sexually, or speak of “acting like
a teenager.” We may break out
of mentor relationships and
enjoy the freedom of standing
on our own.
• After developing new
morals or skills.
• When preparing to
leave a relationship, job,
home or locality.
• When ending any
process and
• When parenting
teenagers.

7. Cycles of development
Clues for returning to Regeneration
• Preoccupation with sex, body, clothes,
appearance, friends or our sex role.
• Unsure of our own values; vulnerable to
peer pressure.
• Problems with starting and ending jobs,
roles and relationships.
• Overdependence on or alienation from
family and others.
• Irresponsibility; difficulty making and
keeping commitments.
• Looking to others for a definition of who
we are.
• Confusion between sex and nurturing.
• Unsure of maleness, femaleness or
lovableness.

8. Summary of Regeneration stage
• Ego state : Recycling through previous stages.
• Activity : Unifying previous activities.
• Functional Metaphor : Integrator.
• Psychoanalytic equivalent : Puberty.
• Needs : Work through previous unresolved
problems.
• Problem solving procedure : Primary game from
each previous stage exaggerated.
• Mechanism : Unification.
• Injunctions : Don’t make it, Don’t growup.
