Free ((install)) — Childhood And Society By Erik H Erikson Dantiore

While Erikson elaborated on these stages in later works ( Identity: Youth and Crisis , 1968; The Life Cycle Completed , 1982), Childhood and Society first presented them in full. Each stage involves a crisis or conflict between two opposing psychological tendencies. Successful resolution leads to a virtue or strength.

Erikson’s work reminds us that we aren't just a collection of instincts; we are a lifelong project shaped by the people and the history around us.

Childhood and society : Erikson, Erik H. (Erik Homburger), 1902-1994

The foundation of all future development. If caregivers are reliable, the child develops hope .
