Intimacy vs. isolation: virtue is love, generativity vs. stagnation and self absorption, virtue is caring. Self awareness: capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize ones self as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals: needed for therapeutic use of self, self compassion, compassion for others, develop boundaries. Transference: projecting irrational attitudes and feelings from the past onto people in the present.
