  1. Personality • Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development • The Oral Stage (The first year of life) • The infant derives intense psychosexual pleasure from stimulation of the mouth, • Oral fixation might involve problems with eating, drinking, substance use, and issues of dependence on/independence from others.

  2. Personality • Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development • The Anal Stage (About 1 to 3 years old) • The child derives intense psychosexual pleasure from bowel movements. This is partly related to toilet training, which usually occurs at this stage. • Anal fixation might involve problems with extreme stinginess or need to maintain strict order. Sometimes the opposite is true, and the person is very wasteful and messy.

  3. Personality • Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development • The Phallic Stage (About 3 to 6 years of age) • The child becomes attracted to the opposite-sex parent and jealous of the same sex parent • Oedipus complex, Electra Complex • Phallic fixation might involve fear of being castrated (in boys) or “penis envy” in girls.

  4. Personality • Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development • The Latent Period (About 6 years to adolescence) • The child in this period suppresses his or her psychosexual interest. Children in this age group tend to play mostly with same sex peers.
