toc 1374804271 = Definition: = Erikson's early adulthood stage, in which an individual must find a life partner or supportive friends in order to avoid social isolation. HGD Chapter 14 p.363

Intimacy vs. Isolation is Erikson's 6th stage in his 8 stages of personality. Intimacy vs. Isolation is said to occur between the ages of 18-35. This stage is when the young adult tries to find love or to bond with others, in essence, forming an intimate relationship with someone and being committed and able to open up to that person. If the person isn't able to resolve this conflict, they get a sense of isolation.
