Erik Erikson has been described as 'probably the most significant post-Freudian thinker' with a 'unique and profound vision'. Getting to grips with his ideas, however, is no easy task. This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth roadmap to Erikson's work and is ideal for all students of psychology. Richard Stevens lucidly and authoritatively analyses his ideas about childhood development, adolescence, identity, the life cycle and his psychobiographical studies of Luther and Gandhi. This penetrating critique of Erikson's work reveals how relevant his ideas are today.
