Erik Erikson (1902-1994) was a German-American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst known for his theory of psychosocial development across the human lifespan. He coined the phrase identity crisis and held that healthy development proceeds through eight successive stages, each built around a specific psychosocial crisis, from infancy to late adulthood.
