Erik Erikson used the film character of Dr. Borg from Wild Strawberries to flesh out his life cycle conception of ego integrity versus despair in old age. The present application of Erikson is to three women: Augusta Turnley (fiction), Florida Scott-Maxwell, and Arie Carpenter--three distinctly different lifestyles and educational backgrounds. Both the dialectical struggle contained in Erikson's model of old age and the specific concepts of ego integrity, despair and wisdom are made concrete in this theoretical exploration.
埃里克·埃里克森利用电影《野草莓》中博尔格医生这一角色，来充实他关于老年期自我整合与绝望的生命周期概念。本文将埃里克森的理论应用于三位女性：奥古斯塔·特恩利（虚构人物）、弗洛里达·斯科特-麦克斯韦以及阿里·卡彭特——她们有着截然不同的生活方式和教育背景。在这一理论探索中，埃里克森老年期模型所包含的辩证斗争以及自我整合、绝望和智慧等具体概念都变得具体可感。
