=In the News:= =Identity vs. Role Confusion=

//“I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” ~Frances Moore Lappe//

//““The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.” ~Richard R Grant// As we examine Erickson’s fifth stage of personality development, we enter into the adolescence stage of 12-19 years of age. Just the word adolescence conjures all sorts of feelings and images for most people given the volatile time it represents and rightfully so. Erickson named this stage Identity vs. Role Confusion and this period of time is defined by confusion within the mind and body in a quest to find out who you are in this world. The corresponding virtue developed at this stage is fidelity, also known as commitment not only to relationships but causes, morals and ideals particularly around religion and politics.
