Solid oversize paperback stapled wraps. ; "Do not Erikson's attitude and his way of applying psychoanalytic theory in the final analysis strengthen harmful prejudices and support the economic interest of the ruling groups in the USA and in the First World in general? ... It is thus all the more important that I produce a well-founded critique of Erikson's portrayal of the Indian and not mere assertions. I have therefore decided to cite 20 passages from the essay "Ego Development and Historical Change" that seem to me to be especially objectionable. I shall comment on each passage in light of my knowledge of the original inhabitants of North America and in accordance with my personal standpoint; the reader must decide for himself what position he wishes to take as regards the facts, Erikson's or mine." - Introduction. ; Ex-Library; 107 pages.
