Research has demonstrated the important impact of identity on psychosocial functioning in both community and clinical populations. The present article aims to identify different mechanisms through which identity may be related to psychopathology. Emphasis is placed on neo-Eriksonian identity models targeting identity mechanisms both at the structural and process levels. With respect to psychopathology, the present article focuses mainly on disturbed eating behaviors and nonsuicidal self-injury, with both behaviors sharing a focus on the body. Emerging research lines are identified, and recent research is discussed as a sample case of how developmental theorizing on identity can yield insights in the emergence and development of psychopathological behaviors. In integrating these research lines, the present article discusses emerging themes originating from the field and provides important avenues for future research and intervention efforts. |
