A Way of Looking at Things: Selected Papers of Erik H. Erikson, 1930-1980

Product DescriptionCovers a wide spectrum of topics on human development from children's play and the dreams of adults, cross-cultural observations, young adulthood, and the life cycle, to reminiscences about some of Erikson's colleagues, such as Anna FreudFrom Library JournalIn a thick volume that spans 50 years of distinguished work on the part of well-known psychoanalyst Erikson, editor Schlein assembles 47 previously uncollected papers (including many obscure journal articles and 11 unpublished works, 2 recently translated from the German) and 13 drawings Erikson did of children and friends. Organized chronologically according to such topics as children's play, cross-cultural observations of the Sioux and Yurok Indians, and reflections on identiy, the writings (though repetitious and imprecise for the lay reader) show Erikson's interdisciplinary efforts to integrate man's social and cultural context with the ego's lifelong capacity for growth and development.
