"Play" across the Life Cycle: From Initiative to Integrity to Transcendence
Jones, Elizabeth
Young Children, v66 n4 p84-91 Jul 2011
In this autobiographical journey through life-span developmental theory, the author reflects on her life as a player, embedding it in the context of Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson's stages of human development. The author builds on these basic ideas--theory, storytelling, play, and development--and defines them as simply as possible.
