In contrast to Freud’s theory of psychosexual stages, Erickson’s theory describes the influence of social experiences across the entire lifespan and not focused on sexuality or interactions thereof. Erickson introduced eight successive psychosocial stages, each…

The air sirens wail like spoiled children as the snowfall beats down from English skies. In the States, Oppenheimer and his constituents are drafting the first of many blueprints of a bomb that will eventually force the Japanese out of World War II. Several thousand miles away, church bells ring for my great-grandfather and his new wife in Italy. Just like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, he is wearing his military uniform.
