    Study Notes

    Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development

    • Freud believed that personality developed in a series of stages that focused on pleasure-seeking areas of the body.
    • Oral Stage: (birth to 18 months) Focuses on the mouth as the primary source of pleasure.
    • Anal Stage: (18 months to 3 years) Focuses on controlling bladder and bowel movements. Successful toilet training leads to a sense of accomplishment.
    • Phallic Stage: (3 to 6 years) Focuses on the genitals. Children begin to recognize gender differences.
    • Latency Period: (6 to puberty) Sexual interests are suppressed, ego and superego develop.
    • Genital Stage: (puberty to adulthood) Strong sexual interest in the opposite sex develops, and continues throughout life.

    Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development

    • Erikson's theory focuses on social experiences across the lifespan, highlighting the development of ego identity.
    • Ego identity is the conscious sense of self formed through social interaction.
