Q

What did Erik Erikson gain world fame in?

A

Erikson had no college degree of any kind, but this lack of formal training did not prevent him from gaining world fame in an impressive variety of fields including psychoanalysis, anthropology, psychohistory, and education.

52
Q

What did Erikson intend his theory of personality to do?

A

Unlike earlier psychodynamic theorists who severed nearly all ties to Freudian psychoanalysis, Erikson intended his theory of personality to extend rather than repudiate Freud’s assumptions and to offer a new “way of looking at things” (Erikson, 1963, p. 403). Erikson regarded his post-Freudian theory as an extension of psychoanalysis, something Freud might have done in time.

53
Q

What is the Post-Freudian theory?

A

Erikson’s post-Freudian theory extended Freud’s infantile developmental stages into adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Erikson suggested that at each stage a specific psychosocial struggle contributes to the formation of personality. From adolescence on, that struggle takes the form of an identity crisis— a turning point in one’s life that may either strengthen or weaken personality.

54
Q

What are the differences between Erikson and Freud’s theories?

A

Although he used Freudian theory as the foundation for his life-cycle approach to personality, Erikson differed from Freud in several respects. In addition to elaborating on psychosexual stages beyond childhood, Erikson placed more emphasis on both social and historical influences.

55
Q

What is Erikson’s post-Freudian theory a reflection of?

A

Erikson’s post-Freudian theory, like those of other personality theorists, is a reflection of his background, a background that included art, extensive travels, experiences with a variety of cultures, and a lifelong search for his own identity.
