German born (as Erik Homburger), Erik Erikson (1902-1994) was an
American psychoanalyst, educator and author. In 1930 he married Joan Mowat Serson,
a Canadian dancer and artist. In 1933 they emigrated from Vienna to the U.S. He was
best known for his work in child development and life-span studies, coining the phrase
"identity crisis", and in the field that became known as psychohistory.
