Summary:

The concept of Identity Crisis came into usage in the 1940s and it has continued to dominate the cultural zeitgeist ever since.In his exploration of the historical origins of this development, Frank Furedi argues that the principal driver of the 'crisis of identity' was and continues to be the conflict surrounding the socialisation of young.
