    Study Notes

    Freud's Psychosexual Stages

    • Anal Stage (18 months to 3 years): Focus on toilet training and control over bodily functions. Fixation can lead to anal-retentiveness (obsessive neatness, control) or anal-expulsiveness (messiness, lack of control).

    • Phallic Stage (3 to 6 Years): Focus on genitals and discovery of sexual differences. Oedipus Complex (boys) and Electra Complex (girls) involve attraction to opposite-sex parent and rivalry with same-sex parent. Fixation can lead to sexual identity issues, relationship problems.
