FEEDBACK: Erikson considered young adulthood to be a longer stage than the previous ones, extending from the end of adolescence to about the age of 35. During this period we establish our independence from our parents and quasi-parental institutions. We undertake some form of productive work and establish intimate relationships, typically close friendships and sexual unions.
