Abstract

provided a context to understand the phenomenon of midlife as experienced by individuals within this age group (Figure 1). As for Erikson, this period is associated with struggles with two opposing sides, which are generativity and stagnation, 17 while Jung sees midlife as associated with crisis which is inevitable and universal in which individuals experience necessary and valuable changes. 3 However, for Levinson this is just a transition and not a crisis. 18 Nevertheless, out of all these points of view, they all fall under the same path of achieving a strong sense of autonomy, individuation, and self-acceptance.
