Democrats who won´t address their political identity crisis and hubristic rage, have only themselves to blame for dragging their own party to the bottom of political culture
In psychology, the term Identity Crisis refers to a personal, psychosocial conflict involving confusion about one´s social role and personality. Not exclusive to teenagers, the internal strife can occur in adults and organizations.
From Erikson´s “stages of psychosocial development” (1963), through Engler's observation on role confusion (2006):”the inability to conceive oneself as a productive member of one´s own society”, the researchers have learned to classify individuals into four categories depending on their “identity status”. Identity Achieved people have thought profoundly about their beliefs and have no problem auto-identifying themselves; individuals in status of Moratorium are trying to determine what their life choices are .Those classified into “Foreclosure category” took an identity copy-cat way, and people who didn´t bother to think about their personal choices are stuck inside the Identity Diffusion box.
