Question

Judy, who always wore her hair tied in the back just like her mother, suddenly went out and got a punk haircut. Then she emptied her closet of all the clothes that looked like her mother’s type of clothes.

Judy is in which phase of individuation?

Answer 1

The answer is differentiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

This stage is characterised by the attempt to look and act different from the surrounding models (likely a family member). This point actually occurs in early childhood, immeditely after infants develop a sense of self. In adolescents, the stage usually involves choosing personal appearance, schools and friends.
