Abstract
In this paper, I present a new reading of Erik Erikson’s theory of epigenetic stages of development, with particular attention to the concept of identity. I show that Erikson’s psychosocial approach requires close attention to the role of the community in the formation of individual identity and to the importance of the stage of generativity as an often overlooked component in understanding both identity and the whole Eriksonian life cycle.
