=== Erikson's Psychosocial Stages === Useful for framing developmental crises across the lifespan. * Infant: trust vs mistrust * Toddler: autonomy vs shame and doubt * Preschool: initiative vs guilt * School age: industry vs inferiority * Adolescent: identity vs role confusion * Young adult: intimacy vs isolation * Middle adult: generativity vs stagnation * Older adult: ego integrity vs despair Application: an older adult reviewing life events and asking whether their life mattered is doing the work of ego integrity, not exhibiting pathology. The nursing response is life review and validation, not distraction.
