Erikson's childhood and youth were characterized by:
a. a number of identity crises.
c. a strong bond with his biological father.
b. a conflicted relationship with his negligent mother.
d. a strong Oedipal complex.
ANS: A
FEEDBACK: It is not surprising that the theorist who gave us the concept of the identity crisis experienced several of the same kind of crises of his own which he was never able, over his lifetime to resolve. Erik did not know for some years that Homburger was not his biological father and said that he grew up unsure of his name and psychological identity. Another crisis of identity occurred when Erik started school. Despite his Danish parentage he considered himself German, but both his German and his Jewish classmates rejected him.
