Erik H. Erikson (1902–1994) was an American psychoanalyst. He was born in Germany to Danish parents, and later emigrated to the United States. In his most famous work, Childhood and Society, he developed his theory of psycho-social stages, outlining eight ages of the human lifespan. Although he considered himself a Freudian, there are significant differences between the assumptions underlying his work and that of Sigmund Freud, perhaps most notably that personality can change throughout life. He wrote psych-biographies, such as Young Man Luther and Gandhi's Truth.
