Joan Erikson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joan Mowat Erikson (1902 - August 3, 1997) was a psychologist.
She was born Sarah Lucretia Serson[1][2] in Gananoque,[3] Ontario, and died in Brewster. Her father was an Episcopalian minister.[4] She studied at Barnard College. Joan married psychologist and sociologist Erik Erikson, with whom she had three children: Kai, Jon and Sue. She wrote several books, including The Universal Bead, Activity, Recovery, and Growth, and Wisdom and the Senses.[5]
Her contribution to Erikson's theory of personality, could have been neglected but nevertheless important: Erik admitted being unable to distinguish between his own contribution and his wife's.[6]
Sociologist Kai T. Erikson is her son.
