Abstract. The article considers the problem of female identity crisis, analyzes their causes and consequences. The author believes, that one of the causes of violations of the identity is the absence in the current reality of the initiations rites, the task of which in the traditional culture was to facilitate the transition to a new age and social level, the inclusion of a person to the society in his new quality. The article describes women's age transitions of the adulthood. The integrative approach is proposed to overcome the crisis of female identity, using the author's method of "integrative-metaphorical therapy," based on the technologies of psychodrama, systemic family constellations, art therapy, fairy tales therapy and traditional women's hand-made practices. Keywords: women's identity, crisis, age transitions, integrative- metaphorical therapy, initiations.
