According to Erikson, the sixth psychosocial stage is reached at the Young Adult's age and is called “Intimacy vs. Isolation”. Also according to the author, at this stage, the interest, besides professional, gravitates around the construction of deep and lasting relationships, and the individual can experience moments of great intimacy and emotional surrender. Moreover, this stage is marked by the existence of "Openness" which is the result of the successful resolution of intimacy versus the isolation stage of adulthood.
