Document Summary
8 stages of development: trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame & doubt, initiative vs. Guilt: industry vs. inferiority, ages 6-11, impatience and lack of encouragement, identity vs. identity diffusion. Only the first 5: intimacy vs. isolation. Connected the unconscious with the wider world. Specialized in psychiatry: this opposed what freud thought he thought that the unconscious was within the individual and arose from within, collective unconscious. Highly influential in dream analysis and symbolization. They all take what we are talking about as a structural approach. Class: believed that society was fundamentally divided into classes that clashed in pursuit of their own interests, believed that the working class needed to overthrow the system, man for action. In this context, it refers to being estranged from society: worked at factory, and felt that they had no control over the distribution of profits, the distribution of labour, or the work process etc.
