In my opinion, not only is this still one of the best educational films that specifically illustrates Erik Erikson's 8 stages of "psychosocial development" that is useful in intro courses in psychology, but it has great potential value for adolescents, parents, teachers, and others in helping professions. Specifically, it does an excellent job showing how difficult experiences at different points in people's lives can have long-lasting, qualitatively different (depending upon when it happened) negative impact on a human beings experience of the world. As I recall it won awards for its animation but the bottom line is: This is an excellent, effective educational film!
