Talk:Identity crisis

message: ...identity crises are expected to be more common now than 30 years ago, when Erikson formed his theory.
"30 years ago" is a moving target; it would be good to replace this with a specific year or range of years. Rbean 20:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: first two sentences are completely incoherent; first sentence talks of healthy development and second sentence goes on as if the one that preceeded it was about abnormal development.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.183.138.220 (talk) 12:10, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is basically completely wrong 

message: "Description:
The identity is "a subjective sense as well as an observable quality of personal sameness and continuity, paired with some belief in the sameness and continuity of some shared world image. As a quality of unself-conscious living, this can be gloriously obvious in a young person who has found himself as he has found his communality. In him we see emerge a unique unification of what is irreversibly given--that is, body type and temperament, giftedness and vulnerability, infantile models and acquired ideals--with the open choices provided in available roles, occupational possibilities, values offered, mentors met, friendships made, and first sexual encounters (Erikson, 1970)."
According to Erikson's stages, the onset of the identity crisis is in the teenage years, and only individuals who succeed in resolving the crisis will be ready to face future challenges in life. But the identity crisis may well be recurring, as the changing world demands us to constantly redefine ourselves. Erikson suggested that people experience an identity crisis when they lose "a sense of personal sameness and historical continuity". Given today's rapid development in technology, global economy, dynamics in local and world politics, one might expect identity crises to recur more commonly now than even thirty years ago, when Erikson formed his theory ."

message: I added the bibliographic entry for Erickson's "Idenitty Crisis" article first appearing in 1970 after the summit in 1969.  Apologies for diverging from the bibligraphic style by using using citation template rather than a hand coded entry.  a) I did know the proper format of the citation in this style to cite an article in a scholarly journal so I leveraged the template to do it for me.  b) Seemed better to have an accurately cited source displaying in a correct format than to not have one.

message: The section talking about the Marcian theory takes up a pretty significant portion of the article, but it's not included in the introduction. Shouldn't it be added so that the Marcian theory will be included in the article at first glance?Chloereuter (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marcian theory in the introduction 

message: The introduction is confusing and not consistent with the material that is presented, for example not including anything about Marcian theory. This page might not even need the information about the Marcian Theory since this page is about Erik Erikson's theory of identity crisis. Those belong on a different page that pertains to them. 
This page also needs more information about what an identity crisis actually is and not just about how it gets resolved.  It needs more recent sources and images that relate to identity crisis.205.185.99.25 (talk) 03:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing 

message: Including the need to focus on the topic; identity crisis, and not on a life stage, namely adolescence. An adolescent crisis may be stereotypical, but hardly universal. People experience identity crises pre and post-adolescence.
And I can't abide semantic nonsense like "first sexual experiences". How many first sexual experiences can one have? Perhaps English was not Erikson's first language. A sub-editor should have emended it to "early sexual experiences".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 (talk) 22:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
