ABSTRACT
Remaining true to his artistic past, the intuitive and imaginative Erikson did not consider the need for psychoanalysts to receive formal training in research oriented doctoral programs in history; Langer, for his part, urged younger historians to acquire the requisite education by entering psychoanalytic institutes for systematic training in the clinical and theoretical aspects of depth psychology: "for many years young scholars in anthropology, sociology, religion, literature, education, and other fields have gone to psychoanalytic institutes for special training, and I suggest that some of our younger men might seek the same equipment."3
