Abstract :

Identity One of the first times the term Identity appeared in the discipline of psychology was in psychoanalyst literature by Tausk . However Identity was brought to the forefront with the work of Erik Erikson. In his identity theory he characterizes identity as a subjective sense of an invigorating sameness and continuity. It appears that according to Erikson a very important dimension of identity is that across different contexts and in different situations, one's understanding of themselves remains relatively stable. His definition even suggests that and a perception of this stability was in fact identity.
