Identity crisis modality: a technique for assessing the structure of the identity crisis.

In this paper an interpretation of Erik Erikson's theoretical notions of the severity, prolongation, and aggravation of the identity crisis is presented and operationalized in terms of "identity crisis modality", a concept representing prevailing patterns of identity formation. The reliability and validity of the Identity Crisis Modality Chart (ICMC), an "objective-projective" instrument, is assessed and its various possible and unique uses, ranging from clinical applications to large scale national surveys, are discussed.

The first-year family practice resident. An identity crisis.

A definite identity crisis was recognized among first-year family practice residents prior to this year. A specific solution was found through a carefully planned one month family practice rotation that enabled the residents to become fully acquainted with the Family Practice Clinic operation while firmly establishing their identity as unique family practice residents. There is good evidence that this approach has been highly successful in dealing with the problem, and the alleviation of identity crises in first-year residents has, in addition, strengthened other areas of the residency program.

Two kinds of identity crisis.

In order to outline a model of identity crisis, it is necessary to distinguish two types. In an identity deficit ("motivation crisis"), the individual experiences a lack of guiding commitments but struggles to establish personal goals and values. In an identity conflict ("legitimation crisis"), the person has several commitments which prescribe conflicting behavioral imperatives in some situations, such that at least one commitment may have to be betrayed. The literature on identity crisis is reviewed in connection with this distinction, and an attempt is made to delineate the causes, the subjective experiences, behavioral consequences, and modes of resolution of each type of crisis.

Identity crisis in school psychology.

The problem of identity crisis in school psychology has been with us for many years. It has been suggested in these pages that the problem does not constitute a weakness within the profession but rather promotes a healthy interchange in ideas. Instead of seeking to provide a narrow definition of the school psychologist's identity, it seems to be wiser to recognize the roles of school psychologists to be as broad as the needs of children in the schools. There will continue to be debate about school psychologists' identity and about what they can do or ought to do in the schools. Those whom school psychologists serve will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this vibrant and constructive debate within the profession.

[Identity crisis and training of psychiatrists].

A trend towards remedicalization in Psychiatry has become apparent in the 80's and 90's. Most psychiatrists tend however to maintain an eclectic attitude, although a few manifest a clear identity crisis leading sometimes to an hyperidentification with one of the psychiatric theoretical models. The training programs for psychiatric residents should take into consideration two important factors in the building up of the professional identity of the future psychiatrists: the tendency of the residents to identify with the ideology of their teachers and the modelling effect of the different types of clinical activities on the theoretical approach of the clinician.

Working class membership and the adolescent identity crisis.

The purpose of this study was to compare the identity status of employed, working class youth with status frequencies reported by Marcia for middle class college students of the same age. Also, an exploratory content analysis was used to suggest factors that block and facilitate identity achievement within the working class group. Identity status ratings were obtained for twenty-eight working class males who were interviewed with Marcia's semistructured questionnaire. Comparisons revealed that the working class youth were more likely than the middle class youth to be in either an identity achievement or diffusion status, and less likely to be in a state of crisis or to have accepted the values of parents without question. Additionally, youth who had both experienced a crisis and resolved that crisis tended to perceive fewer blocks to the opportunity to take part in desired experiences or discussions than other youth. The research suggests that the development of identity may differ between social classes and that experiences outside of the family are significant influences on identity status.
