"Had to read this in order to familiarize myself better with Erikson's theories. Interesting to read the original text; it made me want to know more about Erikson's biography."
"Figuratively, page by page, I consumed this volume many years ago, among many others by this Author and it 'nourished' my mind and life over these many years since. This man is GENIUS and his knowledge and wisdom and incisive insights into human emotional development, each and all, are literally, PRICELESS.
It is impossible to recommend this book more highly than urge that it remain close-at-hand for frequent reading and reference. I loaned my 'well-worn' original copies to so many that they quite understandably were not returned. My library remained incomplete without it available for me to 'grab' when needed. This is the 3rd copy I have bought and one which will NOT LEAVE my POSSESSION!"
"Erikson opened up classical psychoanalysis to cultural influences and constraints when he published this work in 1952. It has since remained a classic of psychosocial literature. In this book Erikson proposes his general theory of the eight stages of psychosocial development across the life style (a reinterpretation and extension of Freud's five stages). He presents his work using the psychoanalytic terms and perspective, which might be a turn off to you if you dislike that school. However, the theory is certainly novel and this book gives the best overview. Erikson draws on his experience working with two American Indian cultures to illustrate the basic principles of his theory."
"This book will probably feel more like an ethnography than an exploration of psychology to many people who read itbook today. I find it definitely a good read despite being an old text. I expected it to be like a very basic and outdated foundational psychology course, but I was surprised at how much of Erikson's insight is relevant to our times. Of course, the field has learned more since Erikson's time, but his writings are still surprisingly progressive.
I would suggest reading this book after already reading a more recent psychological text. That way it's easier to discern which of Erikson's writings are outdated and which can still be applicable today."
