Erik Erikson, best known for his life-cycle theory and concept of
the identity crisis, proposed that we are comprised of a number of
selves. In several earlier books, including 'At Home in the World',
Donald Capps has suggested that the emotional separation of young
children - especially boys - from their mothers results in the
development of a melancholy self. In this book, Capps employs
Erikson's assignment of an inherent strength to each stage of the
life cycle and proposes that the life-enhancing strengths of the
childhood years (hope, will, purpose, and competence) are central
to the development of a resourceful self, and that this self
counters the life-diminishing qualities of the melancholy self.
Focusing on Erikson's own writings, Capps identifies the four
primordial resources that Erikson associates with childhood -
humor, play, dreams, and hope - and shows how these resources
assist children in confronting life's difficulties and challenges.
Capps further suggests that the resourceful self that develops in
childhood is central to Jesus' own vision of what we as adults may
become if we follow the lead of little children.
