Document Summary
Identity achievement vs. identity diffusion: clear identity and coherent sense of self, purpose and direction vs. unclear sense of sense, vagueness about life purpose and lack of direction. Intimacy vs. isolation: establishing a mutually satisfying close relationship (lifelong commitment) with another person vs. never achieving true mutuality with a life partner. Generatively vs. stagnation: focuses on psychosis issues of procreation, parenthood, productivity, creativity, and concern for the next generation vs. concern for only one"s self and/or their age group. Ex: mentoring children through coaching, teachers, supervisors, etc. Desire is to make the world a better place for the next generation (focus on parenthood) How one evaluates life begins to come up. Doing this successfully and still feeling good about yourself means one has come to ego integrity. Fear of death and acceptance of self results in despair; tend to disconnect with life at this time. Become angry, frustrated; nd faults and blame oneself and the world.
