The Erik Erikson Reader

"This volume, ably assembled and introduced by Robert Coles, presents the Essential Erikson."â€•Howard Gardner
Erik H. Erikson is recognized as one of the worldâ€™s leading figures in the field of psychoanalysis and human development. His ideas about the stages of development, the sources of identity, and the interdependence of individual growth and historical change revolutionized our understanding of the nature and course of psychological growth. Erikson, whose work first described the now familiar concepts of "identity crisis" and "life cycle," provided an unprecedented framework for considering the individual psyche within society and culture. Unveiling a dynamic process of psychological development, he emphasized the tendency toward growth and the integration of multiple influencesâ€•the biological, social, psychological, cultural, and historical. With writings from Eriksonâ€™s entire career, including major work from Childhood and Society, Insight and Responsibility, Young Man Luther, and Gandhiâ€™s Truth, this invaluable reader charts the influence of Eriksonâ€™s thinking in the areas of child psychology, development through the lifespan, leadership, and moral growth.
