  3. Freud’s Psycho-Sexual Theory Freud said that if there was a battle with potty training then we would refuse to go for a poo! As an adult we would be anally-retentive and display characteristics of being miserly, controlling and obsessive. If we were not given boundaries with potty training we would be creative and messy and disorganised. WHAT DO YOU THINK? ANAL STAGE Approximately age 1 ½ - 3 Years Old

  4. Freud’s Psycho-Sexual Theory Oedipus/Electra Complex Freud says that a child falls in love with it’s opposite sex parent and is jealous of its same sex parent. Freud says that the child identifies with the same sex parent to vicariously have the opposite sex parent THROUGH the same sex parent. Freud said that if the complex was not resolved it could lead to homosexuality… What do you think? PHALLIC STAGE Approx 3-7 years

  5. Freud’s Psycho-Sexual Theory LATENCY STAGE Approx 7-11 years Freud says we are generally ‘happy’ and pretty ‘normal’ at this stage. What would Freud say would happen if a child was traumatised during this stage of development?

  6. Freud’s Psycho-Sexual Theory GENITAL STAGE Approx 11+ years Freud said that when we go through puberty we reach the genital stage of development and are obsessed with our genitals. He said we stay in this phase for the rest of our lives! What do you think Freud would say about someone who became genitally fixated? How would it affect behaviour as an adult?
