Erik Erikson and the American Psyche is an intellectual biography
which explores Erikson's contributions to the study of infancy,
childhood and ethical development in light of ego psychology,
object-relations theory, Lacanian theory and other major trends in
psychoanalysis. It analyses Erikson's famous portraits of Luther,
Gandhi and Jesus, and his own ambiguous religious identity, in the
context of his anguished childhood and adolescence, and his
repeated emphasis on the need for strong intergenerational bonds to
insure mental health throughout the life cycle. Given Erikson's
persistent efforts to harmonize psychoanalysis with history and the
human sciences, it interprets his invention of psychohistory as a
'pseudo-schism' which enabled Erikson to throw off the stifling
constraints of Freudian orthodoxy, disclosing the personal and
intellectual tensions that prevailed between him and many leaders
of the International Psychoanalytic Association. Finally, it
demonstrates the enduring relevance of Erikson's unique perspective
on human development to our increasingly screen-saturated, drug
addled postmodern - or 'posthuman' - culture, and the ways in which
his posthumous neglect foreshadows the possible death of
psychoanalysis in North America.
