The author applied for an Erik Erikson fellowship after deciding to write a book about Erikson in 1998. His desire to write an intellectual biography of Erikson stemmed from his belief that there were important elements of his life and work that had been overlooked, oversimplified, or dismissed too harshly by Paul Roazen, whose book Erik Erikson: The Power and Limits of a Vision appeared in 1976, and to a lesser extent, by Erikson’s biographer, Lawrence Friedman, whose book Identity’s Architect: A Biography of Erik Erikson , appeared shortly before his arrival at Riggs. Another topic the author wished to explore was Erikson’s relationship to the psychohistory movement that he launched with the help of psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, historians Frank Manuel, Peter Gay, and John Demos and his former student Kenneth Keniston. His work on Erik Erikson had a significant impact on his next book, entitled A Forgotten Freudian: The Life and Work of Karl Stern , which appeared in 2016.
