Freud’s Psychosexual Stages
Stage Focus
Oral Pleasure centers on the mouth--
(0-18 months) sucking, biting, chewing
Anal Pleasure focuses on bowel and bladder
(18-36 months) elimination; coping with demands for control
Phallic Pleasure zone is the genitals; coping with
(3-6 years) incestuous sexual feelings
Latency Dormant sexual feelings
(6 to puberty)
Genital Maturation of sexual interests
(puberty on)

Personality Development
 Identification
 the process by which children incorporate their parents’ values into their developing superegos
 Fixation
 a lingering focus of pleasure-seeking energies at an earlier psychosexual stage, where conflicts were unresolved
