Identity crisis

In psychology, the term identity crisis (coined by psychologist Erik Erikson) means the failure to achieve ego identity during adolescence.

The stage of psychosocial development in which identity crisis may occur is called the Identity Cohesion versus Role Confusion stage. During this stage (that is, adolescence), adolescents are faced with physical growth, sexual maturation, and integrating ideas of themselves and about what others think of them. Adolescents therefore form their self-image and endure the task of resolving the crisis of their basic ego identity. Successful resolution of the crisis depends on one’s progress through previous developmental stages, centering on issues such as trust, autonomy, and initiative.

Concept

Those who emerge from the adolescent stage of personality development with a strong sense of identity are well equipped to face adulthood with confidence and certainty. This sort of unresolved crisis leaves individuals struggling to "find themselves." They may go on to seek a negative identity, which may involve crime or drugs or the inability to make defining choices about the future. "The basic strength that should develop during adolescence is fidelity, which emerges from a cohesive ego identity."
