Study Notes
Oral Stage
- The Oral stage is the first stage of psychosexual development and occurs from birth to 1 year old
- During this stage, the mouth is the primary source of pleasure
- Oral needs include sucking, biting, and chewing
- Unmet oral needs can lead to habits later in life such as thumb sucking, fingernail biting, smoking, and overeating
Anal Stage
- This stage occurs from 1 to 3 years old
- The anus is the primary source of pleasure during this stage
- Children gain pleasure from holding and releasing urine and feces
- The focus of this stage is toilet training which can lead to conflicts about anal control
- These conflicts can manifest in extreme orderliness and cleanliness, or messiness and disorder
Phallic Stage
- This stage occurs from 3 to 6 years old
- Children take pleasure in genital stimulation
- The Oedipus complex, for boys, is the unconscious desire for the mother and hostility towards the father
- The Electra complex, for girls, is the unconscious desire for the father and hostility towards the mother
- These complexes can lead to the development of the superego, which is the conscience
- The superego is formed when the child suppresses sexual desires for the opposite sex parent and identifies with the same-sex parent, adopting their characteristics and values
Latency Stage
- This stage occurs from 6 to 11 years old
- Sexual instincts are suppressed during this stage
- The superego continues to develop
- Children gain new social values from adults and same-sex peers
Genital Stage
- This stage occurs from adolescence onward
- Sexual impulses that were suppressed in the latency stage, re-emerge
- If development has been successful during earlier stages, this stage is marked by the development of mature sexuality, marriage, and the birth and rearing of children
