    Freud'S Psychosexual Stages of Development: Libido

    Uploaded by

    trishamaemacute
    Freud believed that psychological development occurs through a series of psychosexual stages focused on different erogenous zones. Each stage has a conflict that must be resolved before advancing. These include the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages. Fixation can occur if needs are under- or over-satisfied at a stage, leading to persistent focus on that stage. Successful resolution of the Oedipus or Electra complex is needed to progress from the phallic stage.
