Document Summary

Freud proposed that there were 5 stages of development. Freud believed that few people successfully completed all 5 of the stages. Instead, he felt that most people tied up their libido at one of the stages, which prevented them from using that energy at a later stage. *oral - fed and feel positive sensations through mouth. *anal - toilet training and child"s first experience of self control. *phallic - boys and girls become aware of their gender differences, often touch themselves. *latent - sex drive is dormant, just beginning to emerge, just before adolescence. *genital - when sex becomes the focus of your life. Oral stage this occurs from birth to about 1 year, and the libido is focussed on the mouth. The individual may be frustrated by having to wait on another person, being dependent on another person. Being fixated at this stage may mean an excessive use of oral stimulation, such as cigarettes, drinking or eating.
