Insight and Responsibility

Among the topics covered are: Freud's discovery that the human mind can only be studied thru a partnership between observer & observed; how clinical evidence is made up of a unique mixture of subjective & objective; an observation on the way issues of identity affect not only individuals but classes of people; & an examination of the links between ego formation & institutions & traditions. Erikson also discusses the origins of ethics & looks at psychiatry as the pragmatic Western version of the universal journey to self-awareness.
