Mid-life is a period of transition and crisis in human development. A multidimensional approach is needed to understand the meaning of the mid-life crisis. In order to understand the crisis of middle age, it is required to understand the psychological aspects of individuals, behavioral and social aspects. Jung referred to the middle age as the period of individuation. In other words, it is a process of stabilizing and integrating several individuals with fragmented personalities. The discovery of the meaning in life in middle age relates to the meaning of existence and to become a true community member through understanding of others and oneself. The sense of crisis in middle age has a deep correlation with the meaning in life, and the sense of crisis in middle age can be lowered through the meaning of life. However, in the process of discovering the meaning in life, adaptation to family and social crises and coping with stress will be important factors.
