Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to clarify the characteristics of identity crises and developmental process in adulthood empirically based on Erikson's Epigenetic Schema. Middle age and retirement age were developmental crisis periods as well as adolescence, in which the identity was re-questioned and reconfirmed. It was found that these psychodynamic process were similar to the separation-individuation process in early childhood. Based on these empirical data, The Spiral Model of Identity Development in Adulthood was advocated.
