Among those who are concerned with the relationship between the individual and social change, no psychoanalytic thinker has exercised more influence in recent years than Erik H. Erikson. This biographical assessment of his work by a younger colleague, Robert Coles, may be one of the most influential books ever written by one student of the mind about another.
