Abstract
This study analyzes the identity crisis of adolescence experienced by the main character in The Catcher in the Rye novel, written by J.D Salinger in 1951, using the theory of psychosocial development by Erik Erikson. This study uses descriptive qualitative technique of research to analyze data, so that the data collected are from the novel in the form of dialogues, monologues, and prologues. There are some steps to collect the data needed, such as reading and re-reading, noting, identifying, classifying, analyzing and interpreting. Through this novel, this study finds that Holden Caulfield’s identity crisis is in line with the Psychosocial Development theory by Erik Erikson. It can be proven by his confusion of behaving and acting on the problems he faced. After he expelled from school for the third time, instead of tells his parents and thinks about how to solve the problem, he chooses to avoid it by traveling aimlessly. In his journey, he shows the quality of the theory of psychosocial development which refers to a phase of the search for self-identity that makes him tend to do things that are not accordance with the norm such as smoking, going to bars, hiring a prostitute and getting into fights. From there we can see that Holden experienced a self-identity crisis in his adolescence. Keywords: Psychosocial, Erik Erikson, Identity Crisis, Adolescence.
