Erik Homberger Erikson was born in 1902 near Frankfurt, Germany, to Danish parents. Erik studied art and various languages ​​during his school years, rather than science courses like biology and chemistry. He did not prefer the atmosphere that formal schooling produced, so instead of going to college, he traveled throughout Europe, keeping a journal of his experiences. After a year, he returned to Germany and enrolled in an art school. After several years, Erickson began teaching art and other subjects to the children of Americans who had come to Vienna for Freudian training. He was then admitted to the Psychoanalytic Institute in Vienna. In 1933 he came to the United States and became Boston's first child analyst and obtained a position at Hayvard Medical School. He later also held positions at institutions such as Yale, Berkeley, and the Menninger Foundation. Erickson then returned to California to the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto and later to Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco, where he was a clinician and psychiatric consultant. Erickson's interests spanned a vast territory. He studied combat crises among troubled American soldiers during World War II, child-rearing practices among the South Dakota Sioux and Yurok along the Pacific Coast, the play of troubled children and normal, the conversations of troubled adolescents suffering from identity crises and social relationships. behavior in India. Erickson was also constantly concerned about rapid social changes in America and wrote about issues such as the generation gap, racial tensions, juvenile delinquency, changing gender roles, and the dangers of nuclear war. Erikson proposed that people grow by experiencing a series of middle-of-the-paper passages and appealing to loyalty. "Erikson left the field of psychology with great achievements, he was a great writer, a great doctor and a great man. He left behind a great legacy. "If the relationship between father and son dominated the last century , so this one concerns the self-taught man who wonders what he is doing with himself."
