Historical Background
Erickson focused on youth in psychology. Life is a set of crisis people have to solve. The first crisis of youth is defining yourself. What makes sense to you and what makes sense to other people. The crisis of young-adulthood is to for good, integral, meaningful relationships with other people. The risk of being unable to solve this crisis of thinking you are in a group and actually being alone. The last crisis of life is generativity where older people are looking at the world in a new way.
