Abstract | This article demonstrates that contrary to some people's belief that Erikson is passé, Erikson is very much in fashion. It does so by providing an up-to-date, panoramic picture of the scholarship founded on Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. It begins with a succinct introduction of the principal tenets of Erikson's theory and those of the most widely studied construct rooted in Erikson's theory – that of identity status proposed by James Marcia. Following this, are a critical analysis of the major critiques on Erikson's theory and a synthetic review of the chief efforts to improve the theory. The third part highlights empirical evidence supporting the validity of the Eriksonian stages and that of identity statuses. Finally, taking a firm stand on the recurrent, long-standing controversial issues over Erikson's theory, the article draws three conclusions – that Erikson's theory is highly relevant today and perhaps will be for a long time into the future; that it concerns both self and society; and that it applies to both genders. It is further contended that despite its limitations, the Eriksonian literature has practical implications for education and beyond. |
