  6. Stage V – The Genital Stage: • This stage takes during adolescence • A person becomes interested in dating and marriage • The more libidal energy that a child has at this stage, the greater his or her capacity will be to develop normal relationships with the opposite sex • Signs of fixation in this stage include: • Guilt about sexuality • Feelings of inadequacy • Poor sexual relationships • Anxious feelings regarding the opposite sex

Remember!! • Remember, frustration occurs when needs are not met; Overindulgence occurs when needs are over met • Fixation at a particular stage can occur because of either frustration or overindulgence. Fixation at a particular stage will cause this stage to dominate the individual’s adult personality
