This article makes the case that Erik H. Erikson developed a form of psychoanalytic discourse-the verbal portrait-which, although not unprecedented, became a focal feature of his work, and the testing ground for the cogency of his major contribution to psychoanalysis (the concept of identity). It suggests that Erikson was inspired to develop the verbal portrait because he came to psychoanalysis from art and was, in fact, a portrait artist. Drawing especially on the work of Richard Brilliant, it presents the view that a portrait is a portrayal of the subject's identity and goes on to show how Erikson's memorial to the cultural anthropologist Ruth Benedict is representative of the verbal portrait.
本文认为，埃里克·H·埃里克森（Erik H. Erikson）发展了一种精神分析话语形式——口头肖像，尽管并非前所未有，但它成为了他作品的一个焦点特征，也是他对精神分析学的主要贡献（认同概念）的有效性的试验场。本文认为，埃里克森之所以受到启发去发展口头肖像，是因为他是从艺术进入精神分析学的，实际上他是一位肖像画家。本文特别借鉴了理查德·布赖利特（Richard Brilliant）的作品，提出了肖像画是对主体认同的描绘的观点，并进一步展示了埃里克森为文化人类学家露丝·本尼迪克特（Ruth Benedict）撰写的悼词是口头肖像的代表性作品。
