    Freud's Theory of Psychosexual Development: STAGE 1: Oral Stage

    Uploaded by

    jinxie taba
    Freud believed that psychosexual development occurs in five stages - oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. Unresolved conflicts during early stages can result in fixations that influence personality and behavior later in life. Specifically, the oral stage focuses on sucking, the anal stage on toilet training, and the phallic stage introduces the Oedipus complex and castration anxiety. Fixations during these early stages were thought to lead to personality traits like aggressiveness or passiveness.
