May believed that people experience this when they become aware that their existence or some value identified with it might be destroyed. The subjective state of the individual's becoming aware that his or her existence can be destroyed, that he can become nothing
Anxiety.
225
According to Mae, this is the type of anxiety, which is proportionate to the threat, does not involve repression, and can be handled on a conscious level

238
Private language of infants that makes little or no sense to other people

According to Sullivan, this stage lasts from the beginning of syntaxic language until the need for playmates of equal status. The child's primary interpersonal relationship continues to be with the mother, who is now differentiated from other persons who nurture the child
Childhood
240
According to Sullivan, this stage begins with the need for peers of equal status and continues until the child develops a need for an intimate relationship with a chum. At this time children should learn how to compete, compromise, and to cooperate. The three abilities, as well as an orientation toward living, help a child develop intimacy, a chief dynamism of the next developmental stage
Juvenile era
241
Accrding to Sullivan, this is perhaps the most crucial stage because mistakes made earlier can be corrected during this stage, but errors made during this stage are nearly impossible to overcome in later life. Spans the time from the need for a single best friend until puberty
Preadolescence
242
According to Sullivan, with this stage comes the lust dynamism and the beginning of puberty. Development during this stage is ordinarily marked by a coexistence of intimacy with a single friend of the same gender and sexual interest in many persons of the opposite gender
Early adolescence
243
According to Sullivan, this stage may start any time after about age 16, but psychologically it begins when a person is able to feel both intimacy and lust toward the same person. Characterized by a stable pattern of sexual activity and the growth of the syntaxic mode, as young people learn how to live in the adult world
Late adolescence
244
According to Sullivan, this stage is a time when a person establishes a stable relationship with a significant other person and develop a consistent pattern of viewing the world
Adulthood
