The identity and cycle of life. Erickson E.

Eric Erickson is a famous American sociologist and one of the most cited psychologists of the XX century. His concept of the stages of human development had a significant impact on modern psychology. The book “Identity and Cycle of Life”, which includes three early works of the master, along with the book “Childhood and Society”, many experts consider Erickson the best introduction to the theory of Erickson.

The first work “Development of the ego and historical changes” is the quintessence of therapeutic and field observations, which later formed the basis of the book “Childhood and Society”. The second work “Growth and crises of a healthy person” goes beyond the limits of adolescence and describes all eight stages of personality development. In the third work, the “problem of ego-identity” Erickson consistently considers the crisis of identity with a biographical, clinical and social point of view.
