Erik Erikson’s Development Task:

Identity Vs Role Confusion


(12-18 years old)

It occurs during adolescence, from about 12-18 years. During this stage,
adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense
exploration of personal values, beliefs and goals. Development depends on what is
done to a person. At this point, development now depends primarily upon what a
person does. An adolescent must struggle to discover and find his or her own
identity, while negotiating and struggling with social interactions and “fitting in” and
developing a sense of morality and right from wrong. Some attempt to delay
entrance to adulthood and withdraw from responsibilities. Those unsuccessful with
this stage tend to experience role confusion and upheaval. Adolescents begin to
develop a strong affiliation and devotion to ideal, causes, and friends.

In lined with my patient ,he patient wanted to explore and enjoy life. He is
fun going out late with friends. Drinking sessions and partying with his friends. He
disobeys his mother and father most of the time, this is one of the main reason why
he got vehicular accident. He regret for not following his parents advises. He
underappreciated and misunderstood the role of his parents. He is a Grade 12
student, all he think is what makes him happy and he forgot the people around him
who cared and loved him. Based on the struggle he experienced while he is
currently hospitalized he realized that it wasn’t easy and has no plans for doing it
again. The experience he had taught him so much that he will keep for the rest of
his life.
