Book Description

June 17, 1998

"This book will last and last, because it contains the wisdom of two wonderfully knowing observers of our human destiny."—Robert Coles

For decades Erik H. Erikson's concept of the stages of human development has deeply influenced the field of contemporary psychology. Here, with new material by Joan M. Erikson, is an expanded edition of his final work. The Life Cycle Completed eloquently closes the circle of Erikson's theories, outlining the unique rewards and challenges—for both individuals and society—of very old age.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 9th Stage of Identity Development May 19, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the idea of a 9th Stage of "Transcendance" (yes, it's spelled "dance") with the virtue of "faith". Joan Erikson does hint at a certain element of pessimism over the deterioration of previous stages earned, going downhill in old age. However, in the end she speaks of the 9th stage that more than makes up for those losses. I think this stage could get a little more attention ..... transcendance and faith are worth teaching alongside the other 8 stages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Erikson Crisis October 30, 2011
By Cavett
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this book! I picked it up for pennies on Amazon, and will keep in handy forever.

Do not settle for second-hand information about Erikson theory. This book is an easy read, and brings a simple understanding to the Erikson stages and crisis.

I prefer Bowen's work, but for behavioral theory assignments, this is the best money you will spend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to follow March 30, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was excited to read this book from Eric Ericson, a philosopher I find to be extremely clear and accurate on child development. It turned out to be just the opposite. The book is very complicated and deep. It is written in old english form (British?) that made it very hard to follow. I give it 2 stars - not worth the $.
