Study Notes
Phallic Stage (3 to 6 years)
- Libido focuses on the genitals; children show increased awareness of their bodies.
- Importance of forming strong social connections; failure may lead to social inadequacy or feelings of isolation.
- Struggles in academic performance during this stage can lead to feelings of incompetence.
Latency Stage
- Occurs from age 6 to the onset of puberty.
- Marks a period of social and emotional development without overt sexual urges.
- Concludes with the onset of puberty when sexual urges resurface, transitioning to the genital stage.
Genital Stage (Puberty to adulthood)
- Libido re-emerges, directed towards opposite-sex peers, signaling mature adult sexuality.
- Formation of romantic and sexual emotions leading to intimate relationships.
- Development of significant emotional bonds; successful resolution leads to stable one-to-one relationships in adulthood.
Genital Stage Fixation
- Freud argued sexual instinct necessitates heterosexual relationships for healthy expression.
- Fixation in earlier stages may lead to sexual dysfunction or emotional problems in adults.
- Examples include oral fixation resulting in preference for kissing and oral sex over intercourse.
Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Development Theory
- Five stages: Oral (birth to 1 year), Anal (1 to 3 years), Phallic (3 to 6 years), Latency (6 to puberty), and Genital (puberty to adulthood).
- Mnemonic for stages: “OAP La Ge” (Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latent, Genital).
- Oral fixation leads to behaviors like overeating, smoking, or nail-biting when stressed.
Anal Stage (1 to 3 years)
- Focus of libido is on the anus; pleasure derived from defecation.
- Conflict arises during potty training, which can influence personality development.
Anal Fixation
- Harsh potty training may cause an anal-retentive personality: neatness, punctuality, stubbornness.
- Liberal potty training may lead to an anal-expulsive personality: messiness, disorganization, rebelliousness.
