Having assisted her husband, Erik Erikson, in the research leading up to the classic psychosocial development conceptual framework, Joan Mowat Erikson assumed she understood its significance. Later, when she invited a weaver to represent the same information using 9 carefully chosen colors -- one for each of the eight stages plus gray for the occasional negative events which occur in each person's life -- she was able to clarify the tension between each crisis's polar outcomes.

Having introduced numerous students through the years to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, I was excited to meet this author in print and thrilled to see various weavings in color, helping me to understand in greater depth than before.

Wisdom and the Senses: The Way of Creativity discusses the many varied aspects of intelligence as measured through a right-brain perspective. Although the rational side is not overlooked, the emphasis is on our spiritual and intuitive guides that reside in each one of us.
