  2. How Does Our Personality Develop? • Freud believed our personality developed in our childhood (from unresolved conflicts) • We all have a libido. • Our libido travels to different areas of our body throughout our development (Erogenous zones) • Together Freud called these stages our Psychosexual Stages of Development.

  3. Fixation • A lingering focus of pleasure-seeking energies at an earlier psychosexual stage. • Where conflicts were unresolved.

  4. 1. Oral Stage • Seek pleasure through out mouths. • Babies put everything in their mouths (0-2). • People fixated in this stage tend to overeat or smoke. Can also be gullible or cynical.

  5. 2. Anal Stage • Develops during toilet training (2-4). • Libido is focused on controlling waste and expelling waste. • A person fixated may become overly controlling (retentive) or out of control/destructive (expulsive). • Controlling ones life and independence.

  6. 3. Phallic Stage • Children first recognize their gender (4-7). • Pleasure zone is the genitals. • Causes conflict in families with the Oedipus & ElectraComplexes & Castration Anxiety • Fixation can cause later problems in relationships (Egotism or low self-esteem) Click the baby to see real Oedipus Complex

  7. Oedipus Complex • Phase One • Boy has a libidinal bond with the mother (breast feeding and mother as primary caregiver) • Parallel to this, the boy begins to identify with his father, the figure parallel to him in terms of biological sex. (Identification with the father's role as "lover" of mother.) • In this phase, these two relationships exist side-by-side and in relative harmony.

  8. Oedipus Complex • Phase 2 • Boy’s feelings Intensify • Sees the father as an obstacle and a rival who he desires to get rid of or to kill. • Worries the father will castrate him. • Boy is never 100% hostile. • Boy hopefully turns his psychic energy into full-on identification with the father. “Can’t beat’em, join’em.” • Identification: children incorporate their parent’s values into their developing superegos • Boy is masculinized, eventually seeks his own sexual partner

  9. Castration Anxiety • This fear or threat becomes real upon the observation of the female genitalia, which appear to be "castrated” • Sources of the castration complex: • Punishment for affectionate feelings for Mother • Punishment for bed-wetting

  10. The Electra Complex • But what about girls? • During the phallic stage the daughter becomes attached to her father and more hostile towards her mother. • Believes that mom is responsible for her not having a penis. • This is due mostly to the idea that the girl is "envious" of her father's penis thus the term "penis-envy". • This leads to resentment towards her mother, who the girl believes caused her castration.

  11. Oedipus in Pop Culture • The episode "Committed" (5.21) of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, shows a mother-son incest. • In Back to the Future (1985), Marty's mother Lorraine falls in love with him instead of Marty's father. • "The End" by The Doors, in which singer Jim Morrison sings: "Father/Yes son?/I want to kill you/Mother, I want to...

  12. 4. Latency Stage • Libido is hidden (7-11). • Cooties stage. • No fixations

  13. 5. Genital Stage • Libido is focused on their genitals (12-death). • Maturation of sexual interests • Fixations=fetishes, sexual identity problems, etc.
