Document Summary
Children move through a series of stages in which they confront conflicts between biological drives and social expectations. Hypothesized where trouble in adults originated from; conflicts unresolved during childhood. If not resolved, fixation on body part occurs. Each associated with an important body part; some conflict during each stage. Primal urges to seek out urges and gratification. Oral (0-2): infant seeks oral gratification by sucking, biting, babbling. Research has shown that babies learn from mouthing objects; sense of touch develops from top down; children are more sensitive to touch in mouths than in hands. Anal (2-3): potty training helps toddlers balance their needs for anal gratification with society"s demand to be clean and neat. Anal compulsive: orderly, parents were way too demanding. Anal expulsive: messy, personality related to parents weren"t demanding enough. Phallic (3-7): in early childhood, an unconscious desire for the opposite sex parent is controlled by identification with the same sex parent.
