    The patient is in middle adulthood between 40 to 65 years old. According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, this stage involves generativity vs stagnation, where adults should focus on caring for others through parenting and leaving a legacy. The patient is single and childless, so she is cared for by her mother and sister. As she has not settled down or started a family, she remains self-centered and is considered to be experiencing stagnation rather than generativity.

    Developmental & Psychosocial History


    Middle Adulthood (40 to 65 years) Generativity vs. Stagnation; by "generativity" Erikson refers
    to the adult's ability to look outside oneself and care for others, through parenting, for
    instance. Erikson suggested that adults need children as much as children need adults, and that
    this stage reflects the need to create a living legacy.
    The patient is single. She doesnt have child. Her mother and sister are the ones taking care of
    her. She is considered to be in the stagnation stage because at this stage she needs to settle
    down within a relationship, begin her own family and develop a sense of being as part of the
    bigger picture. She will remain self-centered and will experience stagnation.
