Erik Erikson developed a distaste for his concept of identity because it was so frequently misused. He held that identity development is not at an “achievement” or an unalterable accomplishment. He was concerned that certain dimensions of identity had been systematically excluded. To Erikson, three essential dimensions—the unconscious, negatives, and society—were studiously ignored. In operationalizing identity such that its facets are measurable, researchers had underrepresented the construct. In order to return these three dimensions to the identity construct, I first explore Erikson's meaning of the construct. I then examine how he saw the unconscious, social forces, and negating dimensions as attributes that must be included in any portrayal of psychosocial identity. Sources for this paper are Erikson's major publications on identity and his unpublished Harvard papers.

The author examines the role that the buying of commodities plays in the identity formation of the individual. He concludes that it is nowadays no longer the instrumental utility value but a psychical utility value that influences the decision to buy a commodity and that the psychical utility value can have different functions for consumers. In neurotically structured individuals, normal consuming can end in an identity extension where the individual identifies transitively unconscious scenes with those in advertisements, thus making these unconscious scenes conscious in their guise. When individuals are mainly narcissistically structured, an ''identity of commodities'' can be found, that is, a non-personal identity formation mediated by commodities in which the individuals identify reflexively with the scenic figures from Internet games, movies, television programs, and commercials.
