Ego integrity is a concept introduced by Erik Erikson, a prominent developmental psychologist, in his theory of psychosocial development. According to Erikson, ego integrity is the final stage of development that occurs in late adulthood, typically during the 65+ years of age. It involves a sense of acceptance and satisfaction with one’s life, as well as an ability to reflect on and accept the mistakes and successes of the past.
