When Erik Erikson was in psychoanalysis under Freud`s daughter Anna, he wrote three articles based on loss of narcissism and development of super ego in early childhood. They supported the idea that melancholia against mother is one of the losses of narcissism. So Erik Erikson focused on the following three essays to support the about statements. 1: The Fate of the Drives in School Compositions, 2: Psychoanalysis and the Fate of Education, 3: Children’s Picture Books.
The first essay “The Fate of the drives in school compositions” talks about the adolescents in the school Erikson taught in response to the question, “What would you do if you were suddenly alone in the world (you perhaps had no parents) and had to take care of yourself from then on?”.
The second essay “Psychoanalysis and the Fate of Education” is about a 7 year old child named Richard. His mother asked Erikson to analyze him and answer his questions about his sexual curiosity. She thought it would be best if Richard’s curiosity was answered by a man. In 1930, the essay was presented before the Vienna psychoanalytic society.
The last essay was called “Children’s Picture Books” which was presented at the house of children in Vienna, focused on the connection between his psychoanalytic work and his training as a teacher in the Montessori method at that time.
He begins the essay by summarizing and reviewing the things he noted in the Montessori seminar in which he had participated a number of highly diverse children’s picture books were reviewed. This review led to the impression that, on the whole, these books ‘‘constitute a small, circumscribed world that reflects the big real world–with specific distortions’’.
