埃里克森关于人类发展的综合理论已经被人格研究者实证验证，他们对生命周期的成年阶段采取了身份方法：身份，亲密，生殖和完整性。对这些阶段的理解对心理治疗有意义。埃里克森的理论提供了一种描述性的语言，描述了个体目前在心理社会发展背景下的位置，他/她可能在过去陷入困境，以及他/他在发展目标方面的方向。本文试图将埃里克森发展理论的实证研究与治疗干预的方法联系起来，这种方法可以被治疗师从一系列治疗方法中利用。作者是发展、人格和临床心理学家，通过讨论他们自己的心理治疗实践中的案例，说明了埃里克森人格理论在心理治疗中的应用。
Erikson's comprehensive theory of human development has been empirically validated by personality researchers who have taken a status approach to the adult stages of the life cycle: Identity, Intimacy, Generativity, and Integrity. An understanding of these stages has implications for psychotherapy. Erikson's theory provides a descriptive language for where the individual stands currently within a psychosocial developmental context, where he/she might have gotten stuck in the past, and where she/he is heading in terms of developmental goals. This article attempts to link the empirical research on Erikson's developmental theory with an approach to therapeutic intervention that could be utilized by therapists from an array of therapeutic approaches. The authors, who are developmental, personality and clinical psychologists, illustrate the use of Eriksonian personality theory in psychotherapy by discussing case examples from their own psychotherapy practices.
