LATILLA, Tatiana  y  KRAMER, Sherianne. Kiedis's scar tissue: A phenomenological psychobiography. Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.spe, pp.1-11. ISSN 1445-7377.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20797222.2018.1511309.

This study uses a psychobiographic research method as a means to explore and describe the life of lyricist, Anthony Kiedis. Kiedis's history is investigated through the lens of Erik Erikson's theory of identity development. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a means to platform the psychobiographic methodology, this study explores Kiedis's creativity and writing as intrinsic aspects of his identity. In addition, the analysis attempts to understand how Kiedis resolved his identity crises, and puts forward a presentation of Kiedis's subjective experiences of his identity development. Through this in-depth analysis, the study concludes that Kiedis is engaged in an infinite moratorium, and in so doing demonstrates the value of using the combined methods of IPA and psychobiography to understand the human condition.
