Mother, Melancholia, and Play in Erik H. Erikson's Childhood and Society
In an earlier article on Erik H. Erikson's earliest writings (Capps, 2007), I focused on the relationship between the child's melancholia and conflict with maternal authority, and drew attention to the restorative role of humor. In this article, I discuss two of the three chapters in part...

| Résumé: | In an earlier article on Erik H. Erikson's earliest writings (Capps, 2007), I focused on the relationship between the child's melancholia and conflict with maternal authority, and drew attention to the restorative role of humor. In this article, I discuss two of the three chapters in part three, "The Growth of the Ego," of Erikson's first major book, Childhood and Society [Erikson, Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton, 1950, Childhood and society (rev. edition). New York: W. W. Norton, 1963]. I explore the same theme of the relationship of melancholia and the mother, but focus on the restorative role of play. I interpret the differences between the two cases in light of Sigmund Freud's essay, "Mourning and Melancholia" [Freud, Mourning and melancholia. In S. Freud, General psychological theory (pp. 164-179). P. Rieff (ed.). New York: Collier Books. 1963]. |
