Social/Emotional Needs: Gifted Children and Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development
Tracy L. Cross
In this column, I will provide an introduction to one of the most influential thinkers in the field of psychology, Erik Erikson. After I overview his theory of psychosocial development, I will tie it to the development of gifted children. Erikson was a young contemporary of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Erikson discussed growing up in Europe with one biological parent being Jewish and the other Gentile.
