His Childhood and Society has also become a classic text. Erikson taught at the Medical School before joining the Faculty of Arts and Sciences as professor of Human...
Student attitudes are generally a matter of personality, not of prevalent elitism, Gibson says, adding that she can usually type a student from his or her physical manner. "Some charge in, come right behind my desk--which I hate--or stand back in and peer down at me. Others timidly lean in the doorway and if I don't happen to be looking up, they just sort of hang there until I notice them...
