The Challenge of Youth by Erikson Erik H Editor (6 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Erik H. Erikson, a German-born American psychologist and psychoanalyst, dev eloped theories about the sequence of human development that have had an im pact on clinical psychoanalysis, ethics, history, literature, child care, a nd the emerging interdisciplinary study of the life course. Erikson was an art student, but after undergoing psychoanalysis by Anna Freud in Vienna in 1927, he turned to the field of psychology. According to Erikson's life-cy cle theory, first published in Childhood and Society (1950), there are eigh t developmental stages, which are biologically determined but environmental ly shaped: infancy, early childhood, play age, school age, adolescence, you ng adulthood, mature adulthood, and old age. Each of these stages is associ ated with a particular crisis that the individual must successfully resolve in order to proceed normally to the next stage-for example, identity versu s confusion in adolescence. The concept of the identity crisis is now firml y embedded in psychiatric theory. Erikson also studied the relationship bet ween a person's life and the times in which he or she lives; and his histor ical-biographical studies of Luther and Gandhi are outstanding products of this inquiry. Erikson taught at Harvard University for 30 years.
