Psychosocial Crisis of Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant physical, emotional, and social changes. These changes are foundational to the development of adult identity. One key aspect of adolescence is the transition from childhood to adulthood, which often involves questioning one's values and beliefs. A major theorist in understanding adolescence was Erik Erikson, who proposed that teenagers typically face a specific psychosocial crisis. This crisis is essential for developing a healthy sense of self.
