FREUD'S THEORY


I am currently reading a great book by Dr. Brazelton called "The Irreducible Needs of Children". I highly recommend this book for anyone that is wondering how the mind, spirit develops early on in life, and how important a consistent nurturing environment is to that process. Other great authors on this topic include Erikson, Burlingham, and Piaget.

This is a okay summary of Freud's theory, and a brief description of his beginnings.

How about Erikson. This has a cool chart adapted from Erikson's 1959 "Erikson's 1959 Identity and the Life Cycle". I like the focused discussion on a child's development.
