Adolescents myths and issues?

What developmental issues are at work in your current life stage?

• what developmental issues are at work in your current life stage? like for a 20 year old eg. young adult- what issues are important for this stage of life?(for adolescents, development of identity is one important issue)

• Answer:

  20 years olds are typically beginning to think about the two major tasks ahead of them: developing a lasting relationship with another person (not the fleeting relationships of the past few years) and deciding on a career path. Other issues are still there, such as how am I different from my parents and what do I believe in. I've got a link that would probably help you with this question. It's to a podcast episode I did on Erik Erikson's developmental stages. You'll hear people from various points in their lives talk about themselves. You might want to listen to a girl named "Heather" in particular: http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2007/07/09/episode-20-eriksons-eight-stages-of-life/ Hope this helps, Michael Host of The Psych Files podcast http://www.thepsychfiles.com
